Swimmers

We have two great swimmers!  Both big kiddos have been in 2 weeks of swim lessons.  Isaiah was in "Dolphins" and Noelle ended up in a private class (when the other 3 year old in her class refused to swim on day 1).  It's been fun to see how eager, confident, and happy the kids have been in the water the whole time.  On the first day, Isaiah was in a class above "Dolphins" and it was beyond his ability.  Yet, he just went for it, without fear (and without much fun).  I was so proud of him for being up to the challenge, though I could tell he wasn't having any fun at all.  We switched him to a level that was better for him and he did great.  He even jumped off the high dive and love it.

And Noelle was probably the most delightful 3 year old swimming student any of the teachers could imagine.  She was totally willing, fun, sweet, and confident.  There were a handful of teachers and lifeguards enamored by her cute, sweet, funny self.  Her favorite things were "surfing" on what is usually used as a big kick board, putting her face in the water, and jumping into the deep end with "Mr. Jake" there to catch her.
