Swim Lessons

 A brand new swimming school just opened last week, so we bought a Groupon to try it out.  It is amazing!  The pool is a mix of sea salt and chlorine which helps the kids float a little and is much better on their hair and skin.  The pool is very warm as well as the changing rooms.  Since the pool just opened they do not have a lot of customers yet, so we are getting private lessons at the group lesson rate!

 They have tailored the whole place to kids.  They have thought of everything to make learning to swim easier.  If only we could afford to go year round!

 This is Dallin swimming!!!!  Really swimming!!!  He does have a small float pack on his back, but he has his face in the water and is moving his legs and arms.  This was the first lesson!!  Not only do they have an instructor in the water teaching them, but they also have a teacher out of the water grading them.  They receive a progress report after every single class.  It is incredible.

 It's hard to tell, but this Owen in the "kid car wash".  They get sprayed on with warm water before and after they enter/exit the pool.  It was hard to get both of them out of it.

Owen is learning the correct form for the strokes he already knows and is picking up the back stroke. He has been unable to do a back float even after two summers of swim lessons, but after just one swim lesson here, he was floating!!  They have a special flotation device to help him learn and it's a miracle worker!  Stay tuned for their progress updates!

A few weeks into his lessons, Owen got to wear flippers during his lesson.  He loved this!
