Tuba took private lessons and loved to jump off the diving board. He wore a life jacket and would jump like Tigger off the end of the board, pull his knees up and bound into the pool...cannon ball style. He would completely submerge even with the jacket on. He'd wipe his eyes and then paddle and kick over to the ladder and do it all again.
Busy Guy is usually super outgoing but he was a little nervous when lessons began. I had to do my "oh, yes you are going to do it" speech and plop him into the water the first couple of lessons. Now he loves it! He is very brave about putting his face in the water and follows all his teachers commands. He's willing to try everything she suggests...Yeah:)
Mr. P has made huge progress. He can now swim! Really swim. He goes about 4 ft. under water on his own. He is no longer afraid and doesn't fight the teacher's instructions to try new things. He loves his goggles! Go Mr. P:)
I'm a bad mom and don't have any photos of Tuba jumping off the diving board! BAD! Well...that's a good excuse to take him to family swim:)
Beautiful boys!!!
