Swim Lessons

Noah and Kaitlyn began a 2 week course of swim lessons this week. We were fortunate enough to come across a girl in our ward who teaches them right in her backyard for a very reasonable price. Yesterday was day 2, and Noah is already beginning to swim without assistance. Kaitlyn is very brave and tries to keep up with her brother. She dunks freely and is very close to swimming on her own. As for Jacob, I opted not to sign him up because he can already go off the diving board and is swimming quite well on his own; I think all he needs is time in the water to improve his skills. It amazes me how quickly kids pick up swimming once they gain water confidence and the strength to kick and paddle. I suppose it's a little like riding a bike- one day they just take off.
