Little Fish

Swim school.... that is what Dayne calls it. Once a week Dayne goes to Foss Swim School. We actually can't tell him the day before that he has class because he keeps asking when he is going to go! He is in a class with 2 other boys and he really LOVES it. He has been learning how to back float. He wants to use the "scuba" tank even thought he really could do it with out it. He is starting to catch onto scooping and kicking. Each week he gets better at it. His favorite thing to do is dive to the bottom to get whatever toy is at the bottom. I am anxious for him to be strong enough to swim on his own but I know it will come with time. So we will continue to go each week and practice, practice, practice since he does love it so much. He likes to say he is going to be like Michael Phelps...

That is so great! Mason is a fish also! It is really great when kids are comfy in the water. Makes you feel a little safer. Have a great day!!

Ha! Too funny about the double swim posts! How do you like Foss? We haven't been very impressed with the Y and are thinking about switching to there this spring. Is it worth the mad $$$ they charge?

Great pictures of Dayne swimming. Omar calls the floaty device the kids' power packs. William is getting better each time we have lessons too. We will have to plan a swim outing to Shoreview or another place sometime this winter for the kids to keep practicing.
