Swimming Lessons

Kale attended swimming lessons this week. I think he did pretty well for a 2 year old. He was, by far, the youngest kid in his class. 

The class was a Parent and Me and it was more about water exploration than learning to swim. The first day we went, it was just Kale and I. He threw such a fit, kicking and screaming and refusing to get in the water. I had to literally toss him into the water to get him in there. It was so embarrassing!

He learned to kick and move his arms in the water, but he won't do them both at the same time. He's really not into multi-tasking. He can jump off the edge into the water and will put his face in the water without too much fuss. We worked on blowing bubbles and floating, but those are concepts he didn't master. We plan to do lessons again next year and hopefully he will get a little better each year. 

He is pretty good at swimming independently with a noodle.

Dad and Kale had some fun as well. Kale loved being thrown up into the air and being caught.
