We've known for quite some time that Mason loves the water, but he's been dog paddling in the bath tub for months now so we decided to sign him up for swim lessons. He had his first class today and loved it (no surprise there)! It seems to be a nice mixture of games and getting him ready to swim. He got to spend time swimming on his belly, floating on his back, kicking, blowing bubbles, and jumping in. They even try to teach them safe entry into the pool.
Before class started
First exercise in class
They played a game where they have to swim for ducks. Here Mason is swimming for his ducks.
Got them!
They also did an exercise to teach the kids to crawl out of the pool and jump in. Here's a video of the part where they're supposed to jump in. Surprisingly, Mason was too busy clapping to jump in. We'll see if that changes!
