Swimming Lessons


After several years of taking lessons at private homes, we decided to go to the public pool this year- and we were pleasantly surprised with the quality and the price!
My biggest worry was class size- and my heart sank a little when I saw Annie's class the first day.  There were at least 15 kids that age, all in a big line on the side of the pool... and then they brought out the teachers- 5 of them!  Annie ended up each day with only 2-3 kids to her teacher.  It was awesome!


Emma is a fish!  She was in level 4 this year, and passed easily.  I may actually have to consider swim team next year.  I just have such a prejudice against organized sports in the summer... also early mornings.  You see my problem here?


Ethan has always been a little more hesitant in the water.  He took level 4 with Emma, but didn't pass.  I ended up putting him in another session at the end of the summer, and he passed!  He really made a lot of progress this year.
