Swim Lessons

For me, summer is swimming.  I love to do swim lessons every year with the kids.  It makes me feel like a mom, and it is great for the kids.

We had swim lessons the last two weeks in June.  Ashton and Emma were both in Level 3.  I was hoping they would be in different classes, but they weren't.  It ended up okay.  They loved their teacher, Dani (a girl), and did really great.  They were working on side breathing and back stroke.

Sometimes it was hard to keep Elina busy.  But it wasn't too bad.  I think she asked to get on her "swim soup" every day.  Poor girl.  Ethan slept most of the time.  The only trick was to make sure he didn't need to eat while we were there.  I was able to manage that.

The kids had a great two weeks and I'm so glad we did it.  They both passed and are on Level 4.
