April 08 - Ethan and Kaylin in Swim Lessons

These first 2 pictures were taken just before their 1st swimming lesson on April 16th.

This was their 3rd or 4th lesson.

Our friends are also in this class.

Emmy, Ethan, Kaylin, Mandy, some other boy :)

Teacher is Miss Susanne

At the start of each class they hold hands and dip down under the water to blow nose bubbles.

Kaylin did not do this.

(Today - May 21st - 9th lesson - Kaylin's head went under with the rest of the class for the first time!)

A couple times Miss Rhonda helps out.

Here Ethan is getting ready to catch rings. He LOVES this part and gets so excited! :)

I think Kaylin looks so different in goggles!

Poor Krystin. She would love to swim, too.

But there IS a nice indoor playroom and an outdoor swing set.....

... and good buddy Tyler to play with.

At this particular lesson, Kaylin was still uneasy about going in the deep end with her teacher.

But Miss Susanne is great and warmed her up and.....

... this was the first time Kaylin actually went under!
... WAY under!
Now she chases those rings like a pro :)
