Summer Swimming Lessons at the New Hilliard Pool

The kids took swimming lessons at the Hilliard City Pool again this summer. Adam and Logan joined them in the lessons. It was so fun to have friends take lessons with us. This was Nathan's first year in swimming lessons and the teachers were able to keep him focused from time to time on learning to swim when he wasn't running off to get the noodles or jumping in and out of the pool. He has always worn a life jacket up until now. So the first time he got in he acted as though he had one one and went right under the water. He couldn't figure out why he did not pop right back up again and sat under the water for a while. If it had been anyone other than Nathan I would have been worried. When he came up out of the water I could tell he thought that was the coolest thing. He had to do it again and again. Mackenzie really wanted a girl teacher (at this age everything is about pink, princesses, and all things girl) and luckily there was one available after I asked around. Brian just jumped right in and didn't look back. He was focused and ready to sharpen skills. The three of them loved the whole week!

Dude, I didn't have the money to put Dylan in lessons again this year. I might have to do it in the dead of winter! Not so fun. But he needs to learn how to swim!!
