Swimming lessons 2012

This year for swimming lessons, Saxon was in level 3 and Bridger was in level 2.
Saxon is awesome!  He can swim really well on his own.  The only thing they told him to keep working on was side breathing.
Bridger didn't love swimming lessons.
Every day I would have to pick him up and hand him into the pool to his teacher because he wouldn't get in on his own.  Every time she would ask him to do something, he would say no.  In our pool, he can almost swim.  He calls it his "monster swim."  He goes under water and treads water and holds his breath.  He can hold his breath forever!  But he was really nervous in lessons and he gets shy, so his teacher thought he was afraid of the water.
This year Saxon was big enough to go on the slide alone.

Bridger had to go with his teacher, but he loved the slide!
For the exit skill "dive into deep water and swim to the side", Saxon got to jump off the diving board.  He has been dying to jump off the diving board every year and finally got to do it!
