Post Swimming Lesson Cuddle

We have heated swimming lessons through the city from February-June. The kids took the February two week session. Michaela's lessons were pretty much useless, and yet she enjoyed them immensely. Lindie's teacher had the best temperment for her. He was very encouraging. An awesome teacher coupled with a very enthusiastic swim lesson buddy who had no fear at all, helped Lindie a lot. She improved from not wanting to jump into the pool at all at 4ft., to starting to feel comfortable treading water in the deep end. Brevin can swim, but needed some fine tuning with his strokes. He had some personality differences with his teacher and wanted to quit after the second day. We talked about Michael Phelps and how he probably doesn't agree with his swim coach all the time, but he still listens to him. A terrific attitude adjustment helped Brevin. He not only listened, but volunteered to go first on treading water, free style, back stroke, etc. I was proud of each of my kids and their improvement. I think we'll be ready for our neighborhood pool in May. Nothing like a warm cuddle with a little brother after lessons to make everything ok again.
