We did swimming lessons again this summer - second session this year and planned it so the cousins could be together again.
It was a good year in general in terms of weather - a day or two of rain which was not so good, but other than that the days were pretty warm and the kids didn't shiver too bad!
Karter and Spencer did Baby Pool again this year and though they had a good time, they weren't pushed terribly hard. Karter did NOT like his face in the water at all, so one bob a day was a major accomplishment (and it certainly didn't happen every day!) Going down the slide was the other huge feat for him and he did manage that a couple times with a lot of persuasion. But they had fun splashing and wading and being together and it kept them busy for a while while the other kids did their lessons.
Kylie and Summer had another good year and this year the mastered the dive! They both made a lot of progress again and are becoming very good little swimmers!
Kade is also climbing his way through the levels and enjoys them and would not mind working at the pool someday. He was in the pool for an hour this year and his favorite part is still the diving well.
Kylie also enjoys her jumps and got brave enough again to go off the high diving board. It always takes her a couple of days to work up the nerve and then she is totally fine.
And Kevin got to miss out this year b/c he was in Vermont for most of the first week of lessons. He wasn't too sad at all. He did come a few times in the second week to cheer Karter on and help me out and just watch. He didn't seem to be jealous of the kids in the water at all:)!
