Fish Can Swim

Our little trouts had lots of fun this summer at swim lessons. They each passed their level and got signed off to move onto the next level next summer. The last day of their lessons ended with a day of adventure on the water slide and the diving board.


Our youngest was eager to try the diving board...until he got out on the edge and looked down.



He stood on it for three minutes and no amount of encouragement, prodding, or cheering could get him to jump.


He was a little sad, but was consoled by his big sister.

I didn't think he would go down the slide, but his teacher told him he would go down with him and then he felt okay about it...but look at his face, I don't know if he really enjoyed it until he reached the bottom.

I was grateful he had such a kind, gentle teacher.

This is our daughter's last year of swim lessons. Next year she will do swim team with the older boys. She celebrated with a fancy jump off the diving board.

Our Star Wars fan just loves the water. He has no fear and can swim pretty well for a little guy. He really enjoyed the two weeks of swim lessons and wished it wasn't over so quickly!
