After the kids went back to school I wanted Dylan to get into swimming lessons. My sister knew of a woman in her ward, Sheila, who has a pool at her house and teaches there in P. G. So our two little boys are taking swimming lessons together. They have progressed really well. They both passed level 1 and are moving on to level 2.
She had us do a few things at home in the very beginning that really helped Dylan. He was supposed to lie down in the bath and I was supposed to knock on the side while he counted. It was getting him used to having his ears in the water. Then he would flip over and practice blowing bubbles with his face all the way in the water. Those two things helped him so much in his lessons.
I'm totally impressed with how well he has done and if I could figure out how to put video on here I would show you and you would be impressed as well.

So cute! It's awesome that he's already so water savy. I really really want that pool by the way. Can they let me move in?!
yeah, that pool is in their house?!?! That is awesome.
You've just reminded me, though, of something else I should be doing, but am not (kids swim lessons). Didn't get around to it over the summer, and still haven't felt like tackling it.
ah well.
That is great! Looks like he's having fun!
That is awesome! I wish I took swimming lessons as a kid but I never did so keep your kids in it. That looks so fun!
What a great idea! Jaxon is a fish, but Tyler needs some encouragement in that area...
