Back for another session of swim lessons....

Monday we started another session of swim lessons for both boys. 

If you have been following along on Facebook you'll know that Tyler has not had the best start to his Saturday sessions.  The first 2 weeks were awful, wouldn't listen and just would not do anything the instructor asked of him.  Before his 3rd lesson we had some talks, he lost some privileges and I even added a Disneyland sucker as a bribe minutes before his class started.  Something worked and he was a rock star in class.  The instructor even made a point to see us after class and let him know he did a great job and she was proud of him.  So we do still have 2 Saturday lessons to go. 

To get him going a bit more, we are overlapping a two week morning session with his Saturday class.  It is the same class he's in on Saturdays, but a different set of instructors.  So far so good!  He responded right away to his instructor and continues to be a rock star.  (It helps that she's a cute, blonde, and kinda looks like his favorite gymnastics coach)

Bobs...

 Learning about streamline hands...

 

 Practicing streamline arms with kicks....

 Being shown how to do freestyle arms...

 His second day went well, really going after the freestyle stroke.  They also had a chance in the shallower water to dive for rings.  Yay for swimming!

Cody is also back for another session.  We've spent some time the last couple of weeks working on his back swimming and he's getting better. 

Working on his streamline...

 Jump to freestyle...

They also work on diving in this class and he's struggling with this quite a bit.  Hopefully we can figure out the right words to explain it better for him to be able to figure it out.  It would also help for us to be able to get over to the OV pool so he has a chance to practice in the deeper water.
