During his first week Jack cried before, during and after each lesson. He even cried himself to sleep the first night and woke up crying the next morning. He tried every excuse in the book to escape his turn every time. Even going so far as to say he needed a tissue. Mind you...this boy has NEVER asked for a tissue in his life! After week one though, he got a little more comfortable and even started floating around in a tube during the other kids turns.
No floatie needed anymore!!!
Playing "swim froggie" with his good little friend, Gabby!
I gotta say, I was a little jealous of the instructor here. It looked like a lot of fun to throw the kids in the water!
Doing SO well!
Lessons are over, and although he started off slowly, he is now swimming so well! We took the kids to Lifetime yesterday so he could get some practice in to keep it fresh in his mind. He now swims long distances, touches the bottom of the pool, and turns in circles underwater. Go Jack!!!
