Our kids have really enjoyed swimming at the pool here in our apartment this past winter. They have grown more comfortable in the pool with each play session. Nolan has mastered quite a bit just through playing with Mike and me. In the past month or two, Lilly has been jumping in...and is very excited about it. With summer approaching, and more swimming sessions ahead, Mike and I thought another round of swimming lessons would benefit them.
Every Monday night for the next 10 weeks, Nolan and Lilly will be making a splash, and (hopefully some progress) at Jack Splash Swim School in Sartell. Nolan swims in the Middle Blues 2 class with three other boys about his age, and Lilly is in the Little Blues class (without Mom and Dad!) right after. There are only 2 others in Lilly's class. That is one thing were are extremely pleased about...the classes never exceed four children, so our kids get a lot of one on one instruction.
Nolan did very well tonight. He followed directions like a good little boy and completed the pre-assessment tests with confidence. Lilly was a little apprehensive at first and told me at least a dozen times that she didn't want to get in the pool, but when her turn came, she blew me out of the water! She did an awesome job and was so proud of herself after completing what the instructor wanted her to do. For someone who likes to spend the majority of her swimming time on the steps of the hot-tub, she was a natural. It will be fun to see them grow as swimmers over the next couple of months. Keep making a splash kiddos! We love you!
