Two weeks ago Owen began his first swimming lessons. He went 4 days a week for 40 minutes for 2 weeks. We dropped him off with his towel each day and came back to pick him up when he was finished with his lesson.
The McDowell family has been teaching swimming lessons for 31 years so I felt he was in good hands.
Ms. Joy and Mr. Travis were great teachers.
I will be honest though and tell you the first 2 days Owen was excited to go, then the next 3 days were met with great hesitation and resistance...but we went anyway. Then the last 3 days he couldn't wait to go to swimming lessons. I was so proud that we all stuck with it!
Because in the end that little guy can swim. I am amazed at the progress they made especially to only be 2 years and 9 months old.
And my heart couldn't help but smile when Owen interrupted David's prayer at dinner to pray for Ms. Joy and Mr. Travis.
They clearly left quite the impression. He told me we were going to swim lessons tomorrow. I explained we were finished with lessons for this year. He said, "just one more time Mama."
Here are a few video clips from the Parent's day today:
Wow Owen, you can really swim! Meme is SO proud of you. Swimming is lots of fun.
ReplyDeleteI love to see your son taking swim lessons and falling in love with swimming! How did you like the large group of students in the class? If you are near Aqua-Tots in San Antonio, you can take swim lessons privately or with a group of no more than four students. It's something you or your readers may consider if the large group is too much. Thanks for sharing the videos and pictures! Have a happy summer!
