We just finished another round of swim lessons. We did these much closer to home- at the Thoreau club. Maybe one day he'll be on the swim team there like I was :)
The first lesson was rocky. It had been probably 6 months since he had last been in a swim class, and the instructor started out a little aggressively. But after lots of tears that first session, he warmed right up and by the next week he was having a blast. He loved jumping off the edge, crab walking along the side, swimming with a noodle (he would exclaim "NOODOOLE!!!" when the instructor brought them out), and even blowing bubbles. By the last class he could climb out of the pool by himself.
Not his best attempt, but you get the idea.
The highlight of his swim experience though was showing off for Nanna Nan. Nanna works out at the gym at the Thoreau club, and would come down to the pool to watch. Caiden got extra perky whenever he spotted her coming in and would do his best to impress her.
We'll take a break from lessons, but I'd like to keep the momentum going and get him in another session starting in February.
