Austin's teacher was Cassie.
Emma's teacher was Shalisse
Spencer's teacher was Melissa.
The last 5 minutes of the lesson are free time. They went down the slide, off the diving board, shot baskets and dove for rings.
Emma promised that she would jump off the diving board on the last day. Another guard went with her and picked her up and jumped in with her before she could think about it or get too scared. She was proud of her accomplishment. In true Emma fashion she made a card for her teacher on the last day.
Austin regressed midweek but was able to pull out of it by the end. Still pretty timid but he is making progress so that is wonderful.
Spencer is the fish. He is fearless. He puts his head under and just swims out to his teacher. He dives for rings without a worry. Its fun to watch.
I really want Austin to be a compentent swimmer this summer mainly because of his age and to help me. It's hard to take 4 kids to the pool by yourself when none of them can swim. So he will do lessons again next week. Spencer is doing so well that I hate to stop and you can't leave Emma out...so they are all doing private lessons again this week!
Meanwhile Rooster hangs out with me in the baby pool. It worked out great. The bonus was that Braxton and Brooke had lessons before us so they came and swam with Ruth when theirs were done. She loved having playmates.
We also went to family swim Tuesday night with Kelli and Marti. Trying to get as much swimming in as possible. :)

I think swimming, like bike riding, is one of those childhood lessons they must learn. Way to go!
YAY!!! How fun! Blake just started swimming lessons, too! I'm hoping this will finally be the summer he truly learns to swim! Glad your kiddos are doing so well! They are such cuties!!!!
