Swimming Lessons

Fletcher has been taking one-on-one swimming lessons from one of the lifeguards at our neighborhood pool. He has been doing very well. I think he is much more confident in the water now that he has had lessons. We've waited to do lessons because we weren't sure he would be able to put it all together before now. He's learned to use his arms more to pull himself through the water while he kicks. He also learned some safety stuff like how to tread water and what to do if you accidentally fall in the pool. He's learned to "dive" for his diving sticks too. The lifeguard tried to teach him how to really dive and how to float on his back, but those didn't go too well. Maybe next summer!

We had a fun weekend -- stay tuned for a post about our big adventure into the city!
