Swim Lessons

Carter took swim lessons this summer. He did an amazing job for a little boy with a strong will and an aversion to anything in his face--including water. He was so excited about swim lessons, and he wanted desperately to jump off the diving board (which he eventually did). He learned to swim short distances with great "kickers" and "splashers" (legs and arms). He is rolling over to float on his back when he is tired, and he can swim to the wall, hand-walk along the wall and then crawl out of the pool from the wall. It was a great start to getting him pool safe. Enjoy some video! (You can turn off the music on the right hand side of my blog.)

There was this girl, Taylor, in his class. EVERY single video I have of Carter at swim class--no matter what day--has her sobbing loudly in the background. Poor thing is taking two sessions.

That looked pretty good. He rolled over on his back pretty well. Better than when I tried with him
