Swimming Lessons Take 3

We just finished our third year of swimming lessons with Sam and Anna.  They loved it as much if not more than they have in previous years.  Every week they looked forward to going to swimming lessons and cheered when I told them it was swimming lesson day.  They are still a little resistant to floating flat on their backs, but loved using the pool tools like kick boards, pool noodles, and of course, the rubber ducks to practicing reaching and scooping water with their hands.  Anna's favorite part was "monkey on the wall" when we held onto the side of the pool and raced back and forth along the side of the wall trying to get each other.  Sam's favorite part was "the hokey pokey" that we did at the end of every night.

(As much fun as parent/child swimming lessons are, I am looking forward to the day when I can sit on the bleachers and watch my children having swimming lessons without having to be in the pool with them)
