Swim Lessons

Finally. Yes, Nick is 7 and just now taking swim lessons. Guess it’s better than being 12 and taking them.

We tried when he was three, but what fun is getting into the freezing water with your parents just to have some stranger tell you to blow bubbles. Mom doesn’t want to put her head in the icy water either!

The new place is indoors, with two square pools about 9x9 with ledging all around the inside that they can perch on. About six kids and two teachers. Nick was not excited to go to his first class last week. “I’m going to sink.” Jeesh – what kind of a lesson did he think this was?! But he and the other new student bonded and Nick walked out saying “That was awesome!” Rock on. The four year wait was worth it.
