Swim Lessons

Owen has been taking swim lessons for the past few months. We have only been able to go to a few of the lessons because of our trips to Richmond for interviews and house searches, but we had a lot of fun on the few that we went to. He even went under water and didn't cry! This past Saturday was the last class. Matt was able to join us and take some pictures and a video!

Here we are practicing "jumping" into the water. You have them sit or stand on the edge of the pool. Sing "Humpty Dumpty sat on the wall, Humpty Dumpty had a big fall. 1, 2, 3." Then you jump them into the water. And you sing "All the kings horses and all the kings men couldn't get Humpty together again" as you swim them back to the wall and get them out of the water to try again.

Here we are before the jump.

Practicing the back float - Owen just chills out!



This is to help them to get used to being on their tummy in the water. While we were doing this and another game, Owen would smile, look around at the other kids/parents, and clap his hands under the water. So sweet!



We'll post a video when we can figure that out :)
