Round two of swimming lessons began with Mrs. Elkie on July 7th!! The boys took lessons every week day for two weeks.
The first day wasn't too bad since they recently had lessons with Mr. Collin and were doing great swimming!! They even got in the water alone without Mrs. Elkie there to warm up!!
I got a thumbs up from both of them!
A shot of the pool....this is their second year to have lessons here.
The chlorine content was very high in the water, so we had to get both boys some goggles to wear. Luckily Dani wasn't in town so Cade got to wear Dani's and Brooks got to wear daddy's old ones!
On day 3 they were still smiling!!
Cade got sick on day 4 and 5 so he had to sit out a couple of days!
The second week we extended their lessons by 15 minutes to make up the time and they both did excellent!!
They were kicking and using their arms. We tried to teach Cade how to lift his head up and breathe, but he couldn't quite get the hang of it!
Brooks amazed Mrs. Elkie again this year with his speed through the water. She predicts he is going to be a fabulous swimmer!! Cade is great too, he has a great stroke for a kid his age!!
They were doing so great mommy rewarded them with camouflage, superman swimsuits!!
Day 9 went just as good as every other day!! Make sure you tune in to the video to see how great they really did at their lessons!!
The boys missed out on their last day because it was raining too hard. Mrs. Elkie delivered their certificates and fish cookies to mom at work....the boys were so excited!! The worked so hard and swam great!! We are hoping these lessons will pay off...I think they will!! We are going to the beach in a few weeks so we will see how much they remember!
Stay tuned for more swimming adventures!
