Swimming Lessons, 2011
Teacher Jean, Evan, Jaci, Sophi, Anabel
We had the kids take semi-private lessons this year with Jean (& their two good friends).
They LOVED it!!!  The kids made a lot of progress in the five lessons.  We were thankful to have the HOTTEST days for lessons...so it was fun to jump in the pool!
Jean focused a lot on water safety~which is awesome.  (sorry Evan cannot do the butterfly...yet)
One thing she wanted the older two to do was jump in on their own.  They also worked on bouncing (jumping) like Tigger in the water.  When jumping into deeper water, she wanted them to jump in & then bounce to the ladder.  This skill is useful if they jump into water that is too deep...then they know to bounce up to get air.  Not something I had thought about but very important.

E and J jumping in!
Anabel jumping in!
