Pool School

For the past two weeks, the kids have taken swim lessons. I had heard about this great swim school from a couple of different people and decided to give it a try. The kids all really improved.


Camden is just about swimming on his own now. He actually can swim, but he'll only do it where he knows he can touch. That's great for safety's sake, but at our neighborhood pool it means he doesn't get off the steps. Here's Camden practicing with the kickboard at lessons:



Cullen is swimming great and improved his strokes and diving at lessons. He loves the water! Even though this picture doesn't show him swimming, I loved it and wanted to include it - check out the water drops coming off his nose and mouth! (You can click on the picture to make it larger if you can't see it well.)

Kenna is also swimming great and her lessons focused mainly on improving their strokes. Here she is doing the backstroke:

The only two problems with lessons this year were that they were on the far north side of town (about 20 to 25 minute drive from our house) and that the boys' lessons were from 2-3:00, and Kenna's wasn't until 6:00 - which added up to a lot of driving back and forth. The lessons were in a neighborhood right across the street from the water park and everyday we'd pass it and the kids would ask when we could go. So, to celebrate the end of swim lessons, we went to the waterpark yesterday. We were able to go for awhile between lessons, and then go back for a little while after Kenna's lessons. We had such a great time! Kenna and Cullen are swimming well enough that I don't worry so much about them, and I just stayed close by Camden.

Here's Camden in the "play area". I kept calling it the "kiddie area" and he didn't like that!
