Learning to Swim

Last year Branson had a near-drowning experience. This year we put the kids in swimming lessons. Prior to this year we didn't visit pools or swim much - but after Branson's scare we realized that it didn't matter how much or how little we go swimming, the kids need to be accustomed to the water.

Success! They took to swim lessons like fish to water. :)

Now they look forward to getting into the water. Goggles helped a lot - they love looking under the water and keeping the water out of their eyes.

Branson kept looking to me for approval. I'm my kids' #1 fan!

I'm so proud of their progress. They'll need many more lessons, but I think we are off to a great start.
