Swimming Lessons Come to an End

Camden has done AWESOME during his swimming lessons. He has learned how to swim the front crawl, has somewhat learned the back stroke and is still trying to master floating. He does awesome and loves to do front and back flips under water.

After the first week, Casen's teacher felt like he could move up classes, which thrilled Shane because that meant Shane did not have to get in the water with him. She gave Casen and Camden a tattoo for having such a great first week.

Casen has had good days and bad days - it all depends on his mood. On good days, he will do everything his teacher tells him and will not have melt downs when she makes him swim with his head under water, and then there are bad days when he will cry half the class, just to be stubborn.

Due to thunderstorms in the area the second week of swimming lessons, the boys missed a day of swimming lessons. They offered us a private lesson for the boys with a different teacher. I will say despite it being a different teacher, Casen's last day was great, which it probably helped that he was with his brother. He did everything his teacher asked and even swam under water a short bit and was thrilled afterwards!

Our goals for the boys swimming lessons were accomplished. Camden learned a few strokes and Casen is more comfortable in the water now. This should make our time in the pool extra enjoyable this summer.
