Swimming Lessons

You know that summer is officially here when we start swimming lessons! This year Jacob is in Level 2 and Ephraim is in Preschool Level 2. They are doing such a great job with swimming lessons!

Jacob thinks it is funny that his teacher's name is Jacob too! He is doing well in his classes and is working on the skills he learned last year.

I am amazed at how well Ephraim is doing this year. Check this boy out!

Here he is practicing his "chicken-airplane-soldier" (aka the elementary backstroke).  You can see that his teacher isn't really even holding on to him. Ephraim seems to be a natural in the water.

Here is Jacob doing a back glide. If you look closely you can see that the scar on the underside of his chin is healing nicely.

Some of the skills that Jacob is working on, Ephraim is just learning. It is kind of fun to watch them both work on the same strokes and see the differences.

The boys are having a great time at swimming lessons. Here is Jacob working on his crawl stroke with and without a swimming aid.

The boys really enjoy swimming lessons and look forward to it every day.

Here are Ephraim and Clara, having fun while practicing their "kicks".


I have not had the chance to take as many pictures as I usually do because I am taking a Mom and Tot class with Amelia. We mostly just play in the water, but she is enjoying it. Most of these pictures came from the one day that we skipped because Amelia took a morning nap and I literally took her out of bed so we could go to lessons. Amelia is transitioning from one nap to two, but sometimes she still needs to have that extra nap.


I think we are going to take a short break and then take another session of swim lessons. This time I will be sitting out with Amelia, so hopefully I can take some more fun pictures!
