Let The Swimming Lessons Begin!

For the past two Summers, we have taken Jack to a WONDERFUL Swimming Coach - and this year, little brother, Ryan, gets to join in the Summer Fun!!!! Both boys have had a WONDERFUL time swimming - and after their first week, they are making awesome progress!!

The boys with their cool new swim goggles!
Ryan learning the hand and arm position to "streamline"

Ryan learning to do a "dead bug" float on his back

Ryan loves his teachers!

Ryan learning to kick!

Look at all that splashing!

Ryan learning arm movements

Ryan taking time out of the pool to spend time with the Coach's doggie!

He's really working on his arm positioning!

Now it's Jack's turn, and he is the life of the swimming lesson - always has something to say!

Jack jumping in the water on his own!

Jack doing a great job on his "dead bug" float!

Jack is having SO MUCH FUN this year in his lessons - he's come a LONG way!

Jack doing his "streamline" - - - PERFECTLY!

Hooray!!!! Good job, Jack!!!

Working on arm stroke positioning

Jack pays such close attention to his instructors!

Jack swimming out on his own from the stairs to his coaches!

Jack got a little scared because he swam a long way by himself! Poor little guy!

Getting ready to jump into the deep end of the pool off of the diving board!
Great jump - - right into the hula hoop circle! (It's hard to believe Jack will do this - since last year, he was scared to death to jump off the board!)

Jack swimming on his back after the jump into the deep end!
We are SOOO proud of our boys! It's so fun to watch them grow and thrive!
. . . just another day in the life . . .

YAHOO for Jack and Ryan. I got the low-down from Jack about the swim lessons today. He was so adorable and even practiced in SS today. Such a sweetheart!
