Swim lessons

Nate and Lucy started swim lessons this week. I decided to take them to the same place Lucy went last year. Though it costs more, the kids get so much more one-on-one attention and make much more progress than in the kind of class Nate took last year (six or seven kids with one instructor; one-size-fits-all mentality). After yesterday's lesson (their second), I can already see tons of progress from Nate. Lucy still looks a bit like she's riding a bicycle under water (vertical; legs peddling instead of kicking), but she's much more comfortable in the water than she used to be.






(That's our friend Elijah, who was with us yesterday.)

Here are some videos too...
