Swimming

Everyone is done with swimming lessons for the summer, and while they enjoy being in the water, I'm not sure they're quite where they should be for their age level.  We just aren't around the water too much - we aren't lake people and we don't get to the neighborhood pool as often as we probably should.

They're super comfortable when they have their life jackets on, we just need to work on their comfort level and swimming skills without the life jackets.  I'm not much help in this area since I can't swim and prefer to stay where I can touch the bottom of the pool - not exactly setting a good example!


Liam has a mean doggie paddle when he has his life jacket on - it looks like he is riding a bicycle under water.  I bet his legs are tired!


Enjoying a sucker and some people watching after getting out of the pool.
 

This was at Liam's last swim lesson - they brought out this super cool floating mat.  He had a great time riding it around the lazy river.
