swim lessons

I love taking Andrew to his swim lessons. At 8am no one besides us and the lifeguard is there. It's quiet, the water is still and the temperature is perfect. Andrew has made so much improvement since the beginning of the summer.
Andrew can now tread water for two minutes
Anslee brings her baby her friend Elizabeth gave her. She has several Asian babies but she only wants this blue eyed one.

Andrew learned how to swim the length of the pool. He can do freestyle, backstroke and breaststroke. He wanted nothing to do with me teaching him to swim. This lifeguard was great! He's ready to go to the Y and pass the swim test there.

Anslee loved watching Andrew swim and would try to pull his head up when he came by. She is a little fish ~ already trying to swim and sticking her head underwater and blowing bubbles.

Andrew looks pretty dang happy for being that low in the water!

YEAH, WAY TO GO ANDREW!! Delaynee is swimming wonderfully under water. She still hasn't got her coordination down pat with kicking her feet and moving her hands through the water.
