Joshua and Kevin had a blast at Joshua's first swimming lesson. He did really well and we were both very, very proud of him. At first he wouldn't let go of Kevin's neck, but towards the end of his class Joshua was feeling a little more confident and even used the noodle. They worked on kicking, independence from the parent, putting their face in the water and using the noodle. Classes go until June. It may take another session or two before he can graduate to the next class, but as long as he's having fun and learning to be more confident in the pool we're all for it. When he's ready to graduate from "shrimps," he'll be able to:
1. Kick & paddle movements
2. Blow bubbles
3. Hold on to the edge unassisted
4. Float on back with assistance
5. Swim unassisted with adjustable back floats
6. Jump into water with assistance
