Swimming Lessons!


Jack had swimming lessons at the end of June and did AWESOME with them! His swim coach, Tyler, is a great teacher and Jack loved him! What a difference a year makes...last year, Jack was very hesitant about getting in the water with the instructor, but this year he jumped right in...literally! Jack learned so much during his week of lessons and has already put a lot of it to use! He's learned to jump off the side of the pool all by himself and he can climb out of the pool by himself too! They worked a lot on swimming by himself and Jack really did well learning to pull with his arms and kick with his legs...with his face under water! He is now able to swim to me all by himself! He also got very good at floating on his back and can do that with no help now! The highlight of the week was getting to jump off the diving board! Jack had so much fun jumping like the big kids...it was too cute!

Practicing his strokes...
