Kennedy of course loved swimming and happened to get in a class with only two students. She thrived and can now swim pretty much on her own doing some lovely arms and even breaths. She has her own unique arm style, but it works!
She even jumped off the low diving board in a very nice belly flop and the high dive after several minutes of debating if it was worth it.
Alex, on the other hand, spent the first two days crying and shivering. Something clicked on the third day and he started getting it. By the end of the lessons, his swim teacher was using him as an example of how to do things. I was very impressed with the improvement Alex made and his teacher for putting up with his antics the first couple of days.
Alex also jumped off the low diving board which totally shocked me. Now, he won't do it again and seems to still be uncomfortable around water, but at least it is a start!
Alex also did a little soccer camp with his friend Adam to start off the summer. He seemed to like it and did quite well for such a little guy. I asked him if he wanted to play soccer this fall and he said "No." Okay then. I guess we will stick with tee-ball for now.
