Swimmin Lessons

Saturday July 11, 2009 3:51 pm by Kendra | Filed under asher, silas, wesley.

We wrapped up two weeks of “swimmin’ lessons” at a local pool.  Wesley & Silas both made great progress.  Wesley was already comfortable putting her head under and swimming underwater.  She improved to doing some strokes and learning how to breathe on the side.  She has a good ways to go before she is proficient, but we were quite proud of her advancements.

Silas has always been less enthusiastic about being in and under the water.  He still doesn’t want to put his head under, but made great strides – including jumping in unassisted.  He hasnn’t caught up to Wes yet, but I’m hopeful we’ll get there.  Asher was forced to stay staked out in the stroller, which was not ideal for our water-lovin babe.  But we made it up to him by giving him some quality time in the baby pool after lessons.

Here’s some pics from our time at the pool:

    Great job Si. Amazing that Si. doesn’t like to put his face in but Asher thinks it’s fun. Rachel’s not so sure about putting her face in, but I haven’t really pushed her yet. It’s got to be fun watching Wes. swim, too. Someday our boys will get there, and my girl.
