Swim School Part 1

Wednesday, July 29, 2009

Reagan has been taking swimming lessons since early June at Nitro Swim. He is doing really well. There are 10 stations that he will work through, and the goal is to swim five feet on his own. The classes are at a ratio of 1 teacher to 3 kids, and the teachers are amazing! They know exactly what each kid needs to work on--whether it is a kid's first time in that station or their 8th time.


Reagan is currently in station 4 which is "back floats". He can swim on his back all by himself, but he just doesn't have the confidence to do so. Once he knows the teacher has let go of him he freaks out.

He may be in station 4 for a loooooong time.

Here are a few pictures from his first two lessons...in early, early June.


On his first day...he and David look quite a bit alike in this picture.


He has bright yellow goggles which makes it very easy to spot him in the pool.

Swimming!!!

Oh Brother

Reagan says he's going to have a sister. He told me, "When I'm five, she'll be four. And when I'm six, my sister will be five."

I told him that he doesn't have a sister. He said, "No. Not yet, Mommy. But when I'm five, she'll be four."

He'll be five in two months.

I wonder where he's hiding her...
