Living INTENTIONALLY: Swim Little Fish... SWIM!

For two weeks this summer, my little fish had swimming lessons!

We have been at a swim school for the last 5 years, so this was our first year at a new place.

I'm not good at change, especially when it comes to my kids,

but we were very excited about our new place for lessons, and all three had a great time!

This little fish wasn't the most daring fish in the sea, but he attempted to do everything the teachers asked him to do, except put his face in the water. I don't think his hair ever got wet! He was happy, listened well, got more comfortable with the water and swimming... so to me it was a success!

This little mermaid was just that... a swimmer! She loved the water, and learned so much in these two weeks! I was so excited for her! Front swim, back float... even treading water in the deep end... she did great!

Liam thought he was "too old" for his class, but it was just what he needed. He was able to fine tune some basic skills and his teachers said he really grew from the first day to the last. I was pretty proud of him and all that he learned!

The last day of lessons was a "fun day" for everyone. They turned on the water slides and let the kids have fun! The little ones had a personal life guard to do everything with them. (I wish it was that way all the time!) I was surprised at how daring Kallan was after watching him at lessons. He kept asking his teacher to go again and again... and he was all smiles the entire time!

This little guy even got brave and asked his teacher if he could go off the diving board. Yes... Kallan... the child who didn't get his face wet the whole two weeks! He marched right up there and they "helped" him jump to his teacher. He didn't cry, but he didn't want to do it again. He told me he had to wait until he was four! :)
