Swimming Lessons

Our boys are back in the pool for another round of swimming lessons.  Every time we have driven past Provo High School they see the Rec Center and point out "swimming lessons".  I don't think they realize that we can do more things at the Rec Center than swimming lessons.  But since that is the only thing we have done, that is the end of their associations.
 
We thought it would be a good idea to have the boys do swimming lessons again to improve their skills before they get too carried away going to 7-peaks water park this summer.  And the boys have been asking to do more swimming lessons for the past few months.  If their that excited we can't really say no.
 
Grandma Petersen pitched in get the boys into the first session of swimming lessons.  That made everyone very happy.
 
 
Quinten was a little young for swimming lessons this year but he had fun running up and down the length of the bleachers where the parents could sit and watch their kids swim.  Amazingly, I didn't have to chase him down any of the three sets of stairs that lead down to the pool area.
 
 
Donovan and Michael were in the same class and got to practice swimming together.
 
 
Aleky was more excited with putting his head under water than in the actual swimming lessons but the teacher was still able to get him to try a few of the swimming exercises.
 
 

David couldn't believe his good fortune in getting to jump of the diving board into the deep end.  He did fantastic and was easily able to swim to the side of the pool after his splash filled entry.


Our boys are definitely excited about their increasing abilities.  Thanks again Grandma Petersen for getting our boys into the pool!
