Swim Lessons!

August 5, 2013

For the next two weeks, both Z and W have swimming lessons (thankfully at the same time!) in the mornings on M-Th.  It is at the YMCA, which is so wonderful because I can drop Yannick off at the kids center and not have to keep him occupied and out of the water during their lessons.  He would surely want to join since this is the pool where we come for family swim.

I only took pictures of Wyatt this time.  Zachary was more working on his strokes, and Wyatt is really learning to swim.  Since he did not get to finish the Y pre-k program in Evanston, he has not fully mastered swimming.  He can swim all day under water, coming up for air, but cannot keep himself afloat.  Cannot tread water, nor doggy paddle, etc.  So I am excited, hoping these lessons will help him with that.

Wyatt using a float bar with instructor Gabriel.  It was wonderful because there were only 2 kids in his class!  So much one-on-one time!

No problem putting his face in the water, unlike Zachary who hated it!
