Swim Lessons, Take 2!

So we're back for another round of swim lessons, moved up from the Guppies to the Otters and boy what a difference that is! Monday was the first day of our two week session. This is the 5th session of the summer, and it shows as he has only one other boy in his class.

Practicing his bob, putting his head completely under water.

Jump!

Kicks...

Learning arm movements for the breast stroke.

Putting it all together, think it was weird for both of them.

Diving under to get the rings, he's the dark spot in the water.

Back floats; caught the picture the millisecond he actually had his head all the way back.

Practicing the back stroke. The pinkie and the thumb here having a race, the thumb starts in the lead, but when you get the half way point it turns and pinkie wins. Funny but good way to teach.

This is weird for him.

Practice in the water, his head is rarely down.

It's been a good couple of lessons, getting on with his new instructors well and adapting to the deeper water very well. Today they were swimming between the instructors and he was doing very will while on his stomach, but anything on his back is not cool with him. So learning to trust something new is still the name of the game.
