Swimming Lessons

June is the month for swimming lessons for my boys. We signed them all up for semi-private lessons. They all started this week. I was able to go watch tonight. McKay and Noah are adequate swimmers, but we want them to get the details of it down, become stronger swimmers with confident strokes. McKay is working on getting his swimming merit badge for Scouts. Their teacher complimented them and said, we'll need to work on getting Noah to learn how to breathe! He was so confused by that. As we were walking out, he said, "I already know how to breathe!" So, we had to talk about what she was really saying!

Seth is doing awesome with it too. He has really gained confidence in the water the past few months, since we've been swimming 1-2 times month. It will be good to see him learn some skills now! I'm even considering taking lessons myself...learning techniques to better my strokes, not just move the water around! It'll come in handy if I ever decide to do a triathlon, right?

I'll post pics soon! The chief and the boys went on a 10 day adventure back to IL, and I have lots of fun family pics to share...including the boys catching their first fish! It's already been an eventful summer and we're only 3 weeks into it! Yeah!
