Swim Lessons

This summer the kids had swim lessons at the city pool close by our house. Cadence & Isabelle started off in level 1 and Cadence moved to level 2...unfortunatly they didn't have a level 1 class during 2 and 3 (dylan was in 3) so Isabelle just held the side of the pool during the lesson to keep her cool while the others were in class.

Oh, the coordinating of stuff when you have 3 kids! :)

The girls loved the class and Cadence is swimming great. Isabelle is comfortable in the water but in no way can swim. The first week of class she yelled and refused to go in the water. I made her sit on the cement by class and watch and by about the 4th class she was willing to go in and had no problem.
The girls would get in trouble for messing with each other and talking too loud :)



Dylan is a great swimmer but he really didn't enjoy lessons. Today was our last lesson of the year and he had the count down of how many he had left to do since last week. I think he just wanted to swim and have fun...but he had to pay attention in class. :) He learned some new swim styles and liked that.




Maggie was also in the same class as the girls. They all did great but I am soooo glad were done with lessons....it was so hot for me during their lesson just sitting outside, they don't let us get in the water because technically the pool isn't open yet. It was miserable!

Oh man, I feel for you Jill! I can't imagine sitting outside in that heat when there's an "off limits" pool right in front of you! ABSOLUTE TORTURE!
