Summer Swim Lessons

For the past three weeks, our kids have been taking swim lessons through the City of Phoenix aquatics department. The kids have been taking summer swim lessons for the past couple of years. This year, we decided to take lessons at a different city pool, Mountain View, so they could be with some of their preschool friends. It has been a great experience so far. On the first day of swim lessons, our kids waited for their class name to be called and they each just walked right up to their instructor to participate in the class. No tears, no issues. What a huge change from last year!

Madilyn is in the "Yellow Star" class this summer. In class, Madi has been working on perfecting her freestyle stroke, learning the backstroke and practicing diving into the pool. She is doing really well and is one of the youngest in the class.

Aiden is in the "Red Star" class this year. In this class, they are working on their freestyle stroke, learning how to breathe to the side, diving for things underwater, and diving into the water. Aiden has only had a couple of "meltdown" days, but for the most part he is a happy swimmer who improves his skills each time he gets in the water.

We have another whole month of swim lessons. I cannot wait to see how much they improve by the end.
