Swim Lessons!

Connor had his first swim lesson this afternoon! I enrolled him in a mommy and me class, he goes once a week for 30 min. Jared was able to make it to his first lesson and document the "fun" on video and through pictures, I think Connor enjoyed him being there... ever so often he would look up at Jared and smile! The class was really cute! They began by singing a welcoming song to the kids in the class and then began the lesson. Through out the lesson they sang different songs that had some kind of relation to what the lesson was. For example during the kicking lessons they sang:
"Motor Boat Motor Boat go so slow, Motor Boat Motor boat go so fast, Motor Boat Motor Boat step on the gas!"
They also had toys for them to play with and balls for them to chase after and of course Connor's favorite.... the slide! The had the kids practice getting out of the pool on their own by pulling up on the side and climbing out! The kids also had a lesson in holding their breath underwater, surprisingly Connor did really well at this part! All in all he really enjoyed the class until the very end when he had to float on his back, apparently this is the most difficult part for every new swimmer! I think that he will enjoy the next lesson a bit more because he will have a better understanding of what is expected!
Here are some pictures of his first lesson.... some are a bit blurry because Jared had to take them from behind the glass wall!
