Swim Lessons 2011

This Friday ended our week of swim lessons for 2011. Hudson didn't really need swim lessons for independent swimming, but we enrolled him so that he could learn actual swimming strokes (free style - which he moves really fast with!, & backstroke), not to mention that it makes Cade feel better if Hudson is there, too :) On this last day, the kids were practicing safety skills, and having fun jumping in the deep end. That was right up Hudson's alley!
"Watch this! I can touch the bottom!"
 They even got to jump off the lifeguard stand. Hudson loved this! 
He likes to make big splashes... "Cannonball!"
Cade, on the other hand, is not so crazy about the deep end. If he can't touch bottom, he's attached to his swimmies... hence the reason for his swim lessons :) The teachers this year were great about getting him to feel secure, yet pushing him to do all he could. Here are his jumping adventures on the last day... He always wants someone to "catch" him in the water, but if you don't watch him, he'll jump right on top of your head! He likes to do a little "song & dance" before he jumps, too... ha!
 He even jumped off the lifeguard stand! Way to go, Cade!
 Very proud of the boys this year, and very grateful to our teachers! Looking forward to watching them improve the rest of the summer :)
