I am slightly paranoid when it comes to the water, so I wanted to take the boys to some swimming lessons that would give me a bit of peace of mind, if only a fraction. They each had 10 (15 minute) lessons. They went 3 times a week, starting at the end of May. They both learned to float on their back, dive for objects under water, dive from the edge (from sitting), swim with their head under water, and find the edge and pull themselves up out of the pool. "W" also learned the basics of swimming on his back. All done with assistance (except floating and finding the edge and pulling themselves out), but amazing, nonetheless. ET cried the entire 15 minutes until lesson 7, but he was so good at obeying all requests and always told his instructors 'thank you' when he finished. He really learned alot and now LOVES the water. "W" loved every minute of every lesson. "W"(above) and ET (below) at their first lesson."W" practicing at home.
