Swim lessons were definitely money well spent this summer! Not only did it fill our mornings for two whole weeks, Amelia loved it!
She was totally motivated by the other kids in the class going underwater, so she followed suit. Especially after I dug out an old pair of goggles I got years ago. She has since graduated to a mask of sorts that covers her nose too. In the pool, this girl is under the water more than she is above it. No joke. Her favorite thing to do is search the bottom of the pool for rocks to add to her rock collection.
Here's a shot of her class doing "Ring Around the Rosey". That is when she first got brave enough to go under.
Check out Amelia showing off her "ice cream scoop" hands. It's hard to believe that swimming has been over for only a few weeks and yet she has improved so much since then with her skills.
Thank goodness Jason and I opted to invest in a pool pass this summer. There was a lot of back and forth about whether or not we would use it enough to warrant its expensive price tag. Already, though, we have gotten our money's worth! We stayed after swimming class 5 of the 8 days and even came before hand to swim a couple of times. We've checked out all three pools included in our pass and we are there at least 3 times a week and sometimes more! Often Jason will take Amelia up after dinner for an hour or so to burn some energy. Sometimes it's hard to tell who loves it more, Amelia or Henry. And that makes it easy for Jason and I to love it too!

Love to hear about all that swimming. Keep it up! We got a pool pass this summer as well, after much debate. It has been well worth it. The boys are so much more confident in the water and love spending time at the pool.
Sounds like I need to get Sean in swim lessons. He love the pool, loves to tool around with his arm floaties. But, Do Not get his head wet. He freaks!
