swim lessons

Cullen ready for his Red Frog level swim lessons.

Finishing the spider walk along the side of the pool.
Cullen always has to be first!

Finn trying to be patient during Cullen's lesson.
Here he's eating a snack.

Finn-Finn is ready for his turn! He is actually in the StarBabies class.
I should have put him in the White Turtle class, he's ready!

We enrolled the boys in swim lessons this month. Cullen goes twice a week and Finn goes once a week. Tuesday was Cullen's first class. He did great, he has no fear in the water! The teacher actually asked him to demonstrate everything for the class. He's learning a lot of survival techniques right now. Poor Finn, it was so hard on him to watch Cullen, knowing his class wasn't until Thursday. He made it through, just another life lesson better learned at two. He has been saying every since "My swim lesson on THURSDAY." :)
Finn is a natural in the water too. I have to get in the pool with him, so I don't have any pictures. But he was the only kid that would go underwater (and he would laugh every time he resurfaced) and the only kid that would jump off the side of the pool into the water to me. (He's been doing that for some time, remember the Great Wolf Lodge and Vail pictures?) The teacher was very surprised. I wish I would've known that he didn't have to be three to enter the White Turtle level class, like was indicated in the pamphlet. Ohh well, maybe in April.
