Swimming Lessons Part I



We enrolled Patrick in swimming lessons in June with his friend Sofia. In fact, he will tell you that she is his "girlfriend." He tells Papa that he won't give her kisses, but that they hug. When asked if he'll take her on a date he usually reponds no because he's too little to drive! :) They are too cute together. They both passed Seahorse White and now are currently enrolled in Seahorse Red. They are having a blast in the pool and learning so much as they go!

What a charmer!! The picture of Patrick and Sophia is to sweet for words. I love it. These are keepers! What does seahorse red mean? What can he do in the water now? Way to go Patrick, we are very proud of you.

They are SO sweet together! The Seahorse is just the name they give the class. Red comes after white and then there are other colors once they pass that. Guess they couldn't be too creative with naming the classes they had to resort to colors. We can go without his floaties, jumps in the water, eyes opens, retrieves rings, swims a bit without assistance, back float, front float...I'm sure that there is more. Guess you have to see it for yourself. It is truly amazing the progress from last year to this year and even from month to month right now. He's having a blast that's for sure. He'd swim everyday and probably numerous times if we'd let him!

He is growing so fast! After spending what seems a lifetime in at the pool, I can tell you it is a great activitiy - the kids could always gage their progress, even when they weren't the best.
