Back in July Boston has his first ever swimming lesson's. He has never had ANY fear of the water so I never felt like he needed them. Although this summer I really wanted him to learn to swim. He was swimming good before swimming lessons, but now he has literally turned into a fish.
The only hang up he had a swimming lesson's was doing the treasure dive to the bottom of the pool. Too bad for him, because these lessons were intense and the teachers would not take no for an answer. If someone didn't want to jump off the diving board they would just push them in and if they didn't want to do the treasure dive they would grab them and dive down with them. Seriously it was nuts, but everyone in the class left swimming great! Of course two days after swim lessons treasure diving is his favorite thing to do. We no spend most of our time at the pool throwing a torpedo to the deep end so he can dive for it.
After the first day his teacher suggested that he go to the 5-6 year old class so he could be challenged more and I'm so glad we did it. Fast forward to the Olympics and this boy was obsessed with the Swimming events. Bonus for me! We would head out to the pool in the afternoon and all the sudden he is doing the backstroke and attempting back flips off the side of the pool. Summer 2012 will definitely go down and the summer he turned into a fish.
