Swimming lessons

The kids started swimming lessons in January. Sevea passed her level this summer and is on to learning even more. She really enjoys it. She’s good at listening to the instructor and her favorite part is jumping off the diving board. She has a good balance of not being scared and not being too fearless.

This is Cohen’s first time in swimming lessons. He’s in the class that pretty much just wants to get the kids used to being in the water and growing a love for water time. Troy’s been great at helping him have fun while still really getting him used to the water, ie dunking him several times a class. He loves trying to dunk Troy in the water as well. Troy has to end up facing him away from him otherwise Cohen will repeatedly try to push his head down to dunk him. Guess he deserves it! He loves throwing the balls and swimming after them. And does great at jumping in the pool even though Troy lets him go under every time. I’m hoping this approach keeps him loving the water and not caring about going under water.
