Nate's swimming lessons

Nate was so excited to start his swim lessons last week (2 weeks of lessons, 4 days a week). I was surprised at how afraid he was during his first lesson. He usually loves the water, but then I realized he loves the water only when he can touch the bottom.

Here he is at his first lesson:



After the first two days, though, he got more comfortable and now is able to back float alone and jump in and float. He still has trouble doing a forward "glide," but I figure I can work with him on that--he just needs to keep his face down and kick.

Today was the last lesson. They have the kids come with clothes on to the last lesson so they can practice jumping/"falling" in and floating on their backs with clothes on.
