Swim Lessons

The girls are taking swim lessons again this year and this is Syd's first swim class! We put her in the Daddy and Me class since she isn't quite as confident as Hallie was at her age in the water. She's only a few classes into the session, and she can already jump a few feet out to Cameron from the edge of the pool without needing to hold his hand, swim by paddling and kicking her feet with just our hand under her tummy, and she is definitely more comfortable in the water.

Hallie is in level 2 this year since she skipped a level last year and is one of the better swimmers in her class. She likes her teacher, Miss Amy. Since the beginning of class Hallie can now do a front float and back float without the noodle holding her up and swim with her face in the water, coming up for air then continuing swimming. She can dive for toys under water and loves to jump into the water. She's a little fish and says she wants to be just like Aunt Stacey: on the swim team when she gets bigger.

Here's a video of Hallie diving under water to get two rings...

Bentley and I hang out in the kiddie pool while the girls and Cam are in their swim class and Bentley LOVES kicking his legs and splashing himself and I. He gets so giddy when you put him in water and almost hyperventilates with excitement.
