Swim Lessons Were A Success!

Jacob just finished his first swim lessons at Sutton Pool.

Up until now (understandably), he was a little afraid of the water.  In fact, he was very clingy in the pool.

It's really hard.  You want them to learn, but you're really afraid to let your kids get too independent in the water.

Jacob finished his swim lessons and really enjoyed the experience at Sutton Pool.

We've been going back a few times to let him practice.  At first he started to let himself float, and 20 minutes later he was pushing off the wall and paddling himself around.

Before I knew it he was swimming through my legs!  We were so excited!

I encouraged him, but he's still a little afraid to jump off the diving board.  I'm alright with that, I guess.  Baby steps...

My thanks to all the lifeguards at Sutton Pool, they all do a great job!
