Swim Lessons

The boys' swim lessons started this weekend. On Saturday morning, we headed over to Wealthy Pool. Alex's class was supposed to go from 9-9:25 and Will's from 9:30-9:55. Alex's was a parent/child class but Will was bumped up to the preschool class which did not have a parent with them. Unfortunately, there was a mix up and the life guard didn't show up. So we had to wait until a back-up arrived to let us in. Fortunately, both classes were small so I was able to just take Alex into the pool to splash around while Will had his class.

Both kids had a great time. I was a little nervous - I didn't know how Alex would react. The few times we've put him in a pool or lake he has cried but the water was also very cold. (They keep Wealthy pool at 85 so it was quite pleasant) Will was nervous about going in the pool without mom or dad but he did really well. There were only 2 kids in his class. They spent most of the time on the stairs but Will did try floating, blowing bubbles, and splashing. He is really looking forward to the next class.
