Swimming Lessons

Max just finished his first week of swimming lessons. Everything they've taught in class, I've already taught to him. But he listens better to his teachers and LOVES swimming with other kids.


One of his favorite games they play is Red Light, Green Light. It's very simple. They're supposed to kick really hard when they hear green light; kick slowly at yellow light; and stop at red. 



This was the first time they did it. By the end of the week, he was a pro. (Sorry the video isn't very good. Elizabeth was trying to get in the pool while I was filming)



 he also loves his goggles. We bought them a couple of days before his first lesson and he wore them for a few hours each day. Elizabeth did too. 


We look forward to going to swimming lessons again this week.

How fun! My kids loved swimming lessons this year, especially Rex and Colby. They've turned into quite the little fish. They LOVE having a pool that they can go swimming in all the time. The goggles are so cute. Colby loves his goggles too (he calls them noggles) unfortunately they don't really work on him. Can't wait to see you guys!

Such cute stuff! I still need to get Scarlet in actual swim lessons. I'm sure Max is a little fish, and I'm also sure it will still be hot enough in Aug for you guys to swim in AZ. That will be fun. They look so cute in their googles together! Hilarious! Hopefully we will get to see you here soon!
