Drew and Anna Kate had their first swim lesson this week and they did pretty well! I wasn't really sure what to expect and how it would go but they surprised me a little. This is lessons where they are only in the water with an instructor and I knew Anna Kate especially wouldn't be a huge fan of getting in without me. She was hesitant which made Drew hesitant but we were able to convince them to get in pretty quickly. They did well and listened pretty well to what the instructor asked them to do. I won't be throwing them into the pool without water wings this weekend or anything but they learned a couple of basic skills. The instructor was nice but young and I am hoping we have someone different next time that maybe has more experience dealing with two-year-olds. I would prefer that they learn the skills needed to survive in water first, then work on swimming skills. We'll see how next week goes!
Learning to kick. Drew was a little lazy and usually just rode while Anna & the instructor did the work.
Blowing bubbles in the water.
Drew jumping in off of the step. I'm pretty sure he went all the under but didn't come up choking so I guess he listened enough to blow out while under water. They actually both went under at different times but were okay when they came up which is definite progress over last year!
Anna Kate's turn!
