Swim Lessons - week 1

We saw some friends had done lessons through this community pool in Fairhaven and since Jaydon was just beginning to put his head under water in the bath and feel more comfortable in the water we thought we had better get him in the pool.  It was great because it was a two week program every day so he got a lot of repeated exposure to the water.  The lessons had one on one instructors through the level 3 stage and it was really well done.  He had a great time and after the first day I learned that Lucy could do them too so we signed her up as well!
Jaydon found a squirt whale and he had fun playing with it.

The steps that level 1 kids started on, they had songs and activities and toys!

Friday is Fun Friday, so Jaydon got to do all kinds of crazy things.  
He loved the kickboard!
The little slide

He even did the diving board!  After not being able to get him to put his head under water in his lessons throughout the winter, this was so awesome to see!

Jumping off by himself!

Jaydon even did the big slide, the bummer was he went so fast he and the teacher down below catching him bumped heads a bit but it was still fun.
