We started swim lessons back on Memorial Day and the kids both really loved it! We found a great swim teacher in our neighborhood and the lessons were so helpful for the kids. Brody loves to swim and be under water - he remembered his skills from last summer and was able to improve a lot. He now loves to jump off diving boards and go down slides.
Ella is a lot like me ... she needs some coaxing to get her face wet, but as the summer has progressed she is doing so well. About a week after lessons ended she just started swimming. She'll put her face in the water and her little bottom sticks up right out of the water and she starts moving.
Ella would need a bribe to get her face wet, but most of the time she'd do it if Miss Jane asked her to.
Brody learned to work on his scissor kicks instead of using bicycle kicks. If he gets it right he can swim pretty fast and far!
We really enjoyed our swim lessons with Miss Jane!

I still am sad we didn't get to do swim lessons this summer. So glad it went well with your kiddos and I look forward to using this same lady next year.
Swimming looks like a great time, and will probably continue to be so if the temperature remains in three digits. Thanks for sharing the great photos.
Love,
Aunt Marilyn
