Jackson and Max both love to be in the water. Thomas actually seems to enjoy it as well, although he/we could not join the big boys for swimming lessons. While they love to be in the water, neither boy does well getting water in his face. It can be really comical to watch them get in and out of the water a hundred times to wipe the water out of their faces. One of my main hopes for them with swimming lessons was to get used to water in their faces and to just go with it.
Hawaii is the perfect place to become a confident swimmer. Lots of time to practice in the "always swimming kind of weather" weather:)
They had a teacher they both really liked and she was very patient and encouraging with them.
They got these great little report cards at the end of the week. The teacher said she saw a big improvement in both of them, which I felt like I also saw through the two weeks. Much more willing to get their faces a little wet and they both even tried really hard to propel themselves through the water.
Hopefully we can do another round of lessons starting next week!
