Update on Swimming Lessons

Today was Lukas' 3rd day of swimming lessons. On Monday, he wouldn't put his entire head under water so I bought him a pair of goggles and now he loves to go under. They started using kick boards and venturing out into the deeper end of the pool (of course with a lifeguard). He's getting a little better at kicking, but has a little more work yet. At the end of the lesson today, they took the kids over to the diving boards where it's 11ft. He said that he didn't want to "do that, it's scary". He stood outside the pool and observed the other kids jump off while the lifeguard caught them. It was just a few minutes later that he was ready to try jumping off the boards. The first time the one lifeguard helped him, then after that he said "that was fun" and he went 4 more times all by himself. I am so proud of him, it's amazing how much he's accomplished in 3 days.
