We did swim lessons this year and thankfully it paid off!! Talan did so well with this being his first year. We did private swim lessons for 8 days in a row for both kids, and ended up doing another round of 8 days. So all together just 16 days and they can swim!!
The first couple of days Talan cried, but after that he was begging to go first. At the end of each lesson they got to jump through a hula hoop, each lesson it kept getting higher and higher. Here's T:
In teaching Talan to learn to take a breath, his coach had him come up for air and say "hi". Talan was so funny doing this!
Jaeden picked up right where she left off left last year and did SO much better. She learned freestyle, the breast stroke (aka Frog kick), the back stroke and the last day she got introduced to the dolphin kick. Jaeden is so excited that she can swim and keeps asking when we are going to get a pool. It's funny, because up to this point she has had no interest in EVER getting a pool. We are so proud of both of them!!!! However...we will always be watching!
Thanks to Big John for teaching our kids to swim. We are so relieved and happy at the same time!
PS...Yes I finally learned how to put videos on my blog!! Not with the video camera though, only my blackberry seems to work.
