Swim Lessons

During the month of June, Troy, Trent, and Paige have been taking swimming lessons at one of the local university's pool. They loved being in the water every day. In the beginning, Troy and Trent liked being in the pool, but really couldn't do too much if they couldn't touch the bottom. Paige wouldn't even get her face in the water. Today was the last day of class and things have definitely changed since day #1. Troy can now swim the entire length of the pool (75 feet), Trent can make it halfway, and Paige was brave enough to venture into the deep end with Teacher Sherry. They have all come a long way! Reese is looking forward to joining them in lessons next year, but this year she had to be satisfied with getting in the pool with Mommy on the other side of the pool from the lessons. As long as she got to get wet she was happy, but I had to keep my eye on her! She is not afraid of the water.

This is as far under as I'm going, Mom!

I want to get my feets wet!

Aren't goggles cool?

Now I'm going to have to do better about finding places for them to swim besides our little pool in the backyard so that they don't lose what they have learned!
