This fall we were able to put both Kelden and Zack in swimming lessons. I don't think we would have been able to get a third spot for Julia, but since she was going away anyway...
Kelden has the same teacher he had in the spring and she was really surprised by the progress he had made during the summer. It had taken him 3 sessions to complete one little level, but this time, after three lessons of this session, she knows he can get the next level ! Thank you Grandpa and Special for the pool, and thanks to the cousins who showed Kelden what they could do.
Before, he couldn't stay on his back very well, now look at him:
His "Superman" is also better:
Of course, he still has lots to learn!
Zack, on the other hand, is not progressing fast. I guess it was to be expected; he still doesn't want to take baths...He has a hard time putting his head in the water or letting go and swim on his own.
I went to practice this morning with him (during family swim) but he didn't want to let go for me either. At least he never asked for his water wings. He was more motivated when he saw other little boys swimming on their own. Maybe when his dad has some time, he'll go with him again.
He is better at putting his head in the water now that he wears this.
I wish swimming was free, like skating, we would go more often and he would be a real fish!
