Noah's Swim Lessons

Noah finally got his turn to take swimming lessons at the local swimming pool. His teachers were Mr. Josh and Miss Kate. I was impressed at how much patience Mr. Josh had with a few of the kids in his class. Noah made great improvement through out the 2 weeks and even stepped out of his comfort zone a time or two. I still wouldn't say that he is an independent swimmer yet, though he would claim differently, but he is getting there. By the end of his class he was jumping in, going underwater, floating on his back unassisted, and pushing off the side of the pool. We need to work at getting his arms, legs, and breathing to work together. I'm hoping to put him in another session this fall, or winter.

Some highlights from the 2 weeks of swimming lessons:

Floating on his back...

Waiting for his one on one time with Mr. Josh....

Pushing off the side...

More of Jack...

Here are some pictures from the last day of class. He was brave enough to jump off the diving blocks. I have never, nor will I ever do that. They terrify me. But he did it several times...
