Swimming Lessons - Level 1

Josh and Caleb just finished up 4 weeks of Swim Lessons at the city aquatic center.  They went every Tuesday and Thursday night for 30-45 minutes and loved every second of it.  Their favorite part was going 10 minutes early, or staying a little after class, to sit in the giant hot tub.  I wish I would have taken some pics of that.  

The pool has a shallow area that was made for easy access for those who would not be able get in using steps or the ladder.  So there is a gradual slope like a beach. The boys thought this was pretty cool.

Here, Josh is learning how to stroke with his arms. 

This is one of the times Caleb was asked to sit on the edge of the pool...he had a hard time remembering to keep one hand on the wall.

Caleb is trying to float with the help of one of the teachers.

Josh takes his turn jumping into the deep end.

Caleb jumps in with a smile.  He really needs to learn to keep his mouth closed.

Josh got passed on to level 2 and Caleb needs to repeat level 1 again but they both had a good time and it was lot's of fun to watch them.  I know we will be getting more practice this summer.
