I have had the best of intentions of getting the boys swimming lessons pretty much since we moved up here. Unfortunately, there aren’t a whole lot of places that offer them and the one place close to home was always booked. But since no one wants to spend their summer weekends at an indoor pool, I finally got them booked! (One benefit to stay-cationing all summer!)

The boys were super excited about swimming lessons and jumped right in the pool when we got there. And by “jumped right in” I mean they carefully walked around the edge in the most shallow part of the pool. Which was fine by me since I wasn’t wearing a swim suit and didn’t really want to have to jump in to rescue them.

Thomas had his lesson first - he was pretty focused on his instructor and didn’t have time for his momma trying to take photos! The big pool is a little chilly and he got out telling me he was freezing, so I got to introduce him to the wonders of the hot tub! That’s a happy little guy, huh? :)

Henry’s lesson was next and stayed in the shallow end of the pool. Henry didn’t mind looking at the camera for me, but wasn’t giving me any smiles… Sounds about right!

Henry was also freezing after his lesson, but refused to get in the hot tub. I did finally convince him to stick his toes in, but that was about it. You can tell he also didn’t quite go under the water with his bobbing, but he was quite convinced he did. ;)

Overall, they did pretty awesome for not hardly ever being in the water. Hopefully we can keep it up long enough to go to the kiddie pool without me being a nervous wreck! (Seems unlikely for a few years though…!)
