Swim Lessons Week 2

So Colby has had another good week in swim lessons. He's learned so much! He's learned to go underwater and then flip over to his back to get air. He's doing better on kicking and blowing bubbles although I hope to make him practice those throughout the summer. He definitely has no fear of water and that showed throughout the week! He's very comfortable in there which I think makes him a good floater. He worked a little on arm strokes as well.

The last 2 days he was his most comfortable and even got a little spunky. Yesterday my parents came to watch him so I think he tried to show off for them. He was just a little more friskey than normal. Today the last day he really let it all out! Today they let them stand and dive they had been sitting and diving in previously which didn't excite him although he was always good in going in head first. He's not afraid to let his face go in for sure! Well today she did a few practice runs with them standing and diving then she gave each the opportunity to go by themselves well Colby sure enough went by himself although instead of diving he basically flung/jumped himself into the teacher's arms...I'm sure he shocked everyone! Then after that that is all he wanted to do so he got upset when it was his turn to just kick with the kickboard. Mrs. Joan had to drag him in and out and he kept saying "I want to dive".

I think he definitely left them all with an impression not a bad one but I think they will remember little Colby. He was the youngest in his class atleast out of the boys who did the hard stuff (there were 2 little girls but they were with parents) and basically only did what Colby did last year. Anyway he was full of life and personality all week! Every day he would climb out at the end of class and say "Have a nice day" to all the teachers then he would repeat that and say "bye kids" to the rest of the class! He's too funny! I am so glad he has gotton to take swim lessons these last 2 years I feel like he's far ahead for most children his age. I am also glad he's so comfortable around water. Swim lessons has been so fun both years and he's done so well! Already looking forward to next year with him!
