The Road to Vietnam

Swim lessons are going well and the boys are enjoying themselves. It was a rocky start with Owen deciding he didn't like swimming because he didn't know how, and he would put up a fuss about it prior to his lessons. Luckily he isn't nervous anymore and his instructor is happy with how he is doing and how much confidence he's gained. Owen would often tell the instructor he was nervous prior to attempting the activities, but lately he hasn't been doing that & I can see he's gaining confidence as well as skill. I'm not sure he'll "pass" the sunfish level, we may need to take it again in the fall.

Noah enjoys his lessons and isn't the least bit nervous. Noah's the youngest and smallest in his class, his head is barley above the water! he is in the sea otter level, which is a gradual parent-instructor transition.  After his first lesson Gavin didn't go in the pool with him anymore and he's doing fine with his instructor. When one on one Noah does what the instructor tells him to do, but while waiting his turn he's often in his own little world - bouncing up and down and singing :)
