Swim lessons

The kids started swim lesson on July 7th and at the end of the first week the boys seemed to be making some progress (mainly with bravery) but no significant difference from the prior years (yes, we are on year three of swim lessons during the summer).  

Well, at the end of week one and the first two days of week two, things started to "click", especially for Anna!  She really went out there and tried and look at her swim!  Yes, swim!  With her face in the water and all!  Very exciting!  She still is working on breathing but she is getting the first major step!  Yeah!  I am very excited about it!
The boys have discovered the fun of jumping off the diving boards.  No fancy jumps but great to see them have the courage to do it!  Mason had a great time!
As did Olivier!  On Olivier's second time around he did a cannon ball!  And almost all we have heard about it since is how Tim (their coach) caught him by the ankle instead of grabbing his arm.  :-)
And Olivier who is willing to try anything went for jump off the high diving board today!  His coach didn't think he would actually do it but surprise surprise in jumped Olivier!
