Swimming

Last Saturday (April 13th) was the last session of Bishop's first session of swimming lessons! He had a teacher (Jessica, in the pictures) that was training to become a swimming instructor. Bishop had no problem at all with swimming with her.

He did so well in his lessons and the teacher was confident he could move up to the next class (Eels)! Registration for the next session had already opened  and we had signed him up for the same class he was in (Pike), but that should be ok to repeat the class and become even more comfortable in the water. One of the prerequisites of moving up to EEL is you must swim 2 yards (front and back stroke) all on your own...no floatation device and no help from the teachers. I'm glad it went so well and I'm so happy he enjoys the water so much!

Luke and I switch off every other week to take Nora in the water during Bishop's lessons. The first few lessons she sat and watched Bishop the entire time....now she might make it 5-10 minutes before wanting to get in the water! I'm happy she enjoys the water and isn't afraid!
