It's fun to swim at the Y...M....C...A

So swimming lessons in an indoor, bath temperature pool has suited Lilly and Drew. Last swim lesson season, Lilly literally would participate for 10 of the 30 minute lesson due to the cold temperature of the water. So we went back to the YMCA and we are going to be more productive this time around.


I just love when you have a bunch of kids together and they all appear to be listening. My guess that my fascination with this concept of multiple children listening at once stems from my teaching days. Cute shot anyway.....


What's a swim lesson without some kicking?


Drew always knows(or thinks) he knows the answer. Can you tell a teacher raised him?


Getting their time out with the teacher and working on some skills



I have to be honest here. Swim lessons have opened up a whole new perspective I have when watching Drew. The conclusion I have drawn is that he is not listening most of the time, and Lilly is. I would have guessed it opposite, but kids always surprise you.


Drew's some what graceful attempt at floating


Lilly's little gymnast body....oh so little and full of muscle.


Maybe this is why we can not seem to get rid of germs in our house. Lilly puts her hands in her mouth at the bowling alley and Drew puts his mouth directly on the side of the pool.


Practicing the arms....

see what I mean about the listening skills for Drew?? Oh boy.
