Swim lessons, Summer '09

Our favorite swim instructor, Courtney Rogers, was able to teach for just 2 weeks this summer, and only in groups. We've been used to private lessons, but the kids had so much fun making friends this year. I really enjoyed visiting with other moms too, especially since I sat through 3 45-minute lessons every afternoon!


Every day Zane's class had to kick-board eight laps to warm up.


Here's my old pro, doing his advanced dive.



Here's Titus doing some crazy kick-boarding.


Superb floating technique! ;)


This was Levi's first year of swim lessons, and he was so excited! He has no fear, which is great for teaching, but you really have to keep your eye on him! You can see how much he loves the water.

Look at that floating!


Levi was the bravest kid in his beginner class. He was the only one who would go all the way under water from the very first day of class!


Levi learned basic kicking skills too, and by the end of the two weeks, he could actually swim underwater by himself!
