Swim Lessons

Caleb's class is the one on the left and Chloe's is the one toward the right.





Last week was the first week of swim lessons for the kids. Caleb is in the Pre A class and Chloe is in the A class. They are right next to each other in the water. (The pool is too deep to have the kids just stand there, so they have tables in the water for them to stand on- and there is a big gap between each table/ or class). So of course the first day of class while the teachers are out with other kids doing floats, Chloe says "hey Caleb come over here". Caleb's like ok. He slowly moves along the wall and across the big gap and ends up on Chloe's table. His teacher is like hey where did he go? And Chloe's teachers' like who is this kid!!

They did a great job both of them after that. Caleb did bubbles and floated on his tummy and back with his teacher. Still won't put his eyes in the water but it's only the first week. Chloe did back floats and front floats with her teacher, and is now putting her face in the water for front floats. She even got to the count of 10 on the second day. Now to work on listening and not goofing off during class....

My daughter Chloe is the only child I have ever seen put in a time-out during swim class. In the span of about 15sec. she let go of the wall, splashed all the kids in the class and spit a mouth full of water on her teacher! (if you know me you know I did swim team from the time I was 9years old, taught swim lessons and lifeguarded- and I never once saw anyone have to do a time-out!! Only my Chloe!!) She had to sit up on the deck for 5 minutes while the teachers helped the other kids. She kept peeking up at us in the stands and then repositioning her pouting arms and turning back toward us. Oh goodness. I'm gonna try to bring the camera again this week, cuz if she gets another time-out the pouty arms stance is priceless.
