Swim Lessons

The Gs are in swim lessons, starting this week.

G2 and G3 were first. Their swim lessons are Monday afternoons. Monday was of course
President's Day so G1 went with us and Matt took Sunday night off work and so he was able to watch them too.

They were super excited. I was a little nervous. I didn't know what to expect. But they did awesome and had tons of fun.

Playing ring around the rosies, they all blew bubbles instead of falling down:
Headed back to the locker room for a shower, G3 really had to pee:
G3 is normally more hesitant around water then G2 is. But G3 took to it like a fish in water. She was all smiles the entire time. G2 seemed more timid then normal but still had a great time. They are so excited for next week's class.

G4 is in a parent child swim class because she isn't old enough to be in one on her own. Her (I guess our) class in Tuesday mornings. Monday at G2/G3's class she told me she wasn't going to swim. I was preparing myself for a meltdown from her. But Tuesday morning she was really excited.

Since I was in the water with her I wasn't able to take pictures of her during the class. But she did awesome!! At first she just clung to me, but then she started jumping in the water and having a great time. Once she got the kick bar she didn't want me touching her or it. That made me nervous but I got over it. She was making her way through the water really well and could even turn like it was nothing. When class was over she wasn't ready to get out and it was open swim anyway so we stayed for a bit longer.

There is only one other parent/child set in the class and they are our friends so it works out well. As much as I dread getting into a swim suit I am pretty excited (have I used the work excited enough in this post?!) to be doing this with her.

After class:
G1 will have his classes on Saturday mornings. I will try to post pictures on Saturday evening of him.
