swim lessons


this year we decided was a good year to start swim lessons. after much debate we chose private lessons with coach karen. they are pricey, but clif said it best. "this is just an investment in their future and safety." (and might i add, mommy's sanity!) friday was our first lesson. and it was GREAT!

because coach karen is a professional she requires some (what i considered) extra stuff....like swim caps. but when your kids look this cute....i mean who cares? right?!


so far, i have been very pleased. in one short lesson they learned how to safely get in and out of the pool (without needing stairs), how to hang on to the edge and scoot around, how to hold your breath and go under, and how to float. not too shabby!!

Love the caps. Too cute. Props to you. My experiences with putting on/taking off swim caps always involved lots of hair pulling and a little unintentional hair removal. Obviously, based on the smiles, you're better at it than I.
