Swimming Lessons

Elora and Oliver took swimming lessons last summer with their favorite teachers. They always love their lessons, and it is fun to take them to the pool every day for a couple weeks since they are little fish.
Elora is quite the swimmer these days. She never gets tired of it and is always sad when it is time to leave the pool! She looks so happy and natural in the water.
This year Oliver really improved his swimming. He loved his teachers and actually did what they asked him to do without being afraid!
And most amazing is that he didn’t hesitate at all to put his head in the water. This is a super big deal for Oliver.
Even more amazing? Oliver floating on his back! He NEVER lets me help him float on his back, so I was pretty amazed that Kelsey got him to do it.
Kellen is such a fun teacher and Oliver loved swimming with his kickboard back and forth to the deep end of the pool. Fun fact – I used to teach Kellen and Kelsey back when I was a Home Ec. teacher at the high school. Now they are all grown up and teaching my kids to swim. 
The treat on the last day of swimming is always watermelon – Elora’s favorite! She was so excited about her treat and got to lounge on the chairs munching while she watched Oliver’s class.
