Swimming Lessons

Marin is finally able to take some swimming lessons this summer. She has taken this particular class three times. Her teacher this session seems to be on the ball. He is very positive about Marin's swimming ability and compliments her when she does something well. Marin has started learning how to dive into the lap pool where it is nine feet deep. She got on the diving platform and jumped in. She also sits on the side of the pool and simulates the diving motion into the pool. It is very fun to watch her progress. Andrew is in his second session of lessons this summer. He is swimming exclusively in the lap pool. He says that his lessons are boring because all they do is swim--rather than the games that they play in Marin's class. Andrew practices his front crawl, back crawl, elementary backstroke, breast stroke, and is learning to dive. They are getting so grown up. I love watching them learn new skills.
