Swim Lessons

Since we were in Utah for so long Bradley and Daniel got to take swim lessons from June 24- July 5, 2013.

They had lessons everyday for two weeks at 11:30.  They loved their instructors and the chance to be in the pool everyday!

This is the first day.  They played games and tried to get a feel for how comfortable the kids were in the water.

After the first day they broke the group into two classes.  Bradley and Daniel were in a group of 6-7 kids.

 

"Red light, Green light" was one of their favorite games they played at the end of class.

Bradley got to be in charge this round.

Daniel and Bradley have become VERY competitive!

Daniel working on his "bobs".  He made a lot of progress in swim lessons. 

He will now put his head under water!

 

"Keep going Daniel!"

"Good job Buddy!"

 

Bradley had no problem adapting to the water.

One of the days they learned how to safely pull someone out of the pool by laying on their stomachs and reaching.

"I got this one down!"

 

They also learned to look before you jump.  They had to make sure it was save before they jumped in.

 Daniel loved the jumping part! 

 

The last day of swim lessons was a free play day.  The kids got to play anywhere in the pool and test out their new skills.

Bradley loved going off the diving board!

Bradley also tried the rock climbing wall.  It is pretty cool.

   

Daniel loved going down the new water slides.

(At least they are new to me!)

They both learned a lot and passed off all their requirements.  Now we just need to find a pool and practice the new skills.
