Another Born Swimmer?


Gavin is finally old enough to learn to swim. He got to have his first private lesson starting this week. I had my doubts about him. He is super super sweet, but when he doesn't want to do something, he is the most stubborn person I know. I fully expected him to throw a huge fit and not work well. I was completely wrong. He actually did really well. He cried and screamed of course, but he did what he was supposed to do. He got more upset at me for taking off his swimming suit than he did about swimming.
Usually she doesn't have them stick their faces in the water right away, but Gavin did that all on his own. He is already floating on his back on his own as well. He might just be another born swimmer in this family. He is still a butt in the pool because he throws the toys that are meant to make the little kids feel better. He just throws them out of the pool in defiance, but he gets the swimming done.
I just love the swimming lessons. It makes going to the pool so much fun. Very expensive, but worth every penny in the end!

I'm excited to get Kevin in swimming lessons. He too loves the water!! Did you start all your kids this young?

We started Kaitlyn at 20 months also, but Maya was 3 when she started. It's nice to start when they are young before they learn bad habits!
