Swimming Lessons!

The Superstar had his first group swimming lesson this morning. He was a bit nervous and tried to say he was too sick to go. But, after a lot of encouragement (and a promise of a Target shop afterwards!), he was ready to go. We got to the pool a few minutes before his class was supposed to start. We checked in and I asked how many kids were going to be in his class. The swim instructor said, "he's the only one." Waa-hoo! Private lessons for the YMCA group price - AWESOME! The superstar did GREAT today. He used a kick board and went down a back in the swimming lanes a few times, bobbed under the water once (he said he would go under 3 times tomorrow), and jumped into the pool at the 3 ft. 6 in. area and the 4 ft. area. The Superstar also learned how to use the stairs to get in and out of the pool and tried a little back floating. More fun tomorrow!
