I found a lady near our home who teaches swimming lessons in her backyard pool, and signed up Jacob & Matthew. This was a great find! The kids enjoyed the lessons and learned quite a bit too. Parents are only allowed to watch on the first and last days. Usually they swim for 30 minutes and get to play (i.e. jump off the diving board) for the last 5. This, of course, was Jacob's favorite part. I love the expressions on his face while he's airborne.
Matthew still has quite a bit of fear of the water, but he was finally able to put his eyes in the water, with goggles, and even his whole head most of the time. Wahoo! I love this little picture of him hanging onto the side of the pool with his flappy strap goggles.
And here he is jumping in with a little help from Shannon.
The kids had afternoon lessons, and with such a hot summer, the cool pool was the best afternoon treat!

I'm so thankful private swimming lessons! That is how the girls all learned to swim - probably saved their little lives as we had so many opportunities to swim in private pools. I'm so glad the boys are learning - they will enjoy all your hotel experiences so much more! Cute pics of the expressions! Love it!
