Ben just finished 4 weeks of 4x a week swim lessons. While it was a bit of a commitment to get to the pool every morning it was well worth it- he is now swimming laps! Yahoo! Still working on perfecting his dive...he gets the form down and then he just does a belly flop as soon as he jumps..
Lauren did not do the swim lessons but came and swam laps in the pool. She managed to get herself included in some of Ben's lessons though and had to show the class how diving is done. I have to say, her dive is pretty darn impressive- definitely better than mine (though I'm scared to even step on a diving board so that isn't saying much.)
On the last day the teachers decided it'd be fun to have a cannon ball contest- the kids were in heaven and they let Lauren participate too...before I knew it was she the one in charge of the whole thing and was judging the winners. She both amazes me and drives me crazy all at once!
This was our 2nd year doing lessons at Gold's Gym and I'm super impressed- don't think we'll need lessons next year but I have a feeling the kids will be begging for them just because they loved going so much!
