Yellow Otter and White Turtle

Cullen floating with his teacher.
He floated (unassisted) for over 1 minute today!

Cullen swimming underwater to his teacher.
He's learning to do this, then flip to his back and float.

Finn in his swim class. He has officially
graduated from mom-baby swim lessons!

Finn jumping in to his teacher.

The boys both graduated from their first month of swim lessons. Cullen is now a Yellow Otter and Finn is a White Turtle. I moved them to days now and Cullen only has one other kid in his class. Finn has got 3 other kids in his class. They are both doing great and learning a lot.

Cullen is actually learning how to swim this class. By the end of the month, he should be able to jump into the water, surface, roll to a float, and then swim back to the side of the pool. Cullen has got the float down! Finn, obviously, is still learning survival skills. But he's fearless, his teacher has him lead the choo-choo (wall walking around the perimeter of the pool) at the start of each class. I think it's because he is fast and not afraid. It is really unnatural for me to be watching my two year old from outside the pool though!
