Jeremy’s first session of swimming lessons ended today. We did a two week “crash course”, so to speak. 9 classes, M-F for week one, M-R for week two. It was one of the only classes that had space left. He really enjoyed himself, I think. His favourite parts were the non-swimming parts. LOL Sometimes they got to play with toys, and other times the rode in/on floating things. For the last section of class today, they got to play in the splash area. At first, he was nervous. When it was time to get out, he was ready to play.
In class, Jeremy learned Mommy relearned how help Jeremy slip into the pool, how to help him jump into the pool, how to blow bubbles, how to encourage Jeremy how to kick his legs and splash both from the side of the pool and in the water. Mommy learned how to help him float on his tummy, on his back, how to help him get his face close to the water, and he got to wear a life jacket in the water.
Jeremy even got his first report card!
