Little fish

The month of June was such a busy month, we juggled swimming lessons with t-ball and several times Lindsay and Kenna were working at the same time as some of these events so we were juggling cars too as it doesn't help that they work at different subway stores!

We survived it all and it was a really fun month.  In the past I have been able to put the kids in a couple different sessions of swimming lessons but it looks like this was the only session we will have time for this summer.

Jace was in the 'ray' class this year and he passed with flying colors!

The last day of swimming lessons is always anticipated at our house, it's the day the kids get to jump off the diving board

Baylie was in the 'starfish' class this year - she was lucky enough to have 2 friends in the class with her, Tyler and Madeline -

Alison was in 'minnow' class and she get to move onto 'fish' next summer - it's an hour long compared to the 1/2 hour she is used to and it's in the deep end!  She is a GREAT little swimmer
She was lucky to have her good friend Emma in class with her - as a matter of fact, they were the only 2 in their class!

I love that my kids love to swim and are happy to be in swimming lessons.  I think swimming is a life skill and it just makes it easier when I don't have to fight them to get them in the water.  I remember sitting with Baylie (in the water) when she was just 3 in her class because she didn't want to be there, now she loves it!  They have all turned into such good little swimmers and are improving each time they get in the water.
