This was Owen's second year of swim lessons.
(Donut after his first day of lessons)
He took from the McDowell family again. We were so proud of this guy for completing all 8 lessons.
He might not be Michael Phelps quite yet, but in my opinion any time your child gains more confidence and gets more experience in the water, the better!
One of the biggest things Owen learned during lessons this year was how to take a breath while swimming.
They encouraged us to get in the pool and swim swim swim with our kids.
It's important for them to KICK! Not use their arms at this point. He is not at the level developmentally to use his arms. If he were, he would probably sink because he wouldn't remember to kick. If they need to do something with their arms, they are to go straight out and front and then kick!
Proud of you Owen and looking forward to swimming with you this summer!
Wow Owen! Way to swim!! Meme is so proud of you! You will have so much fun swimming and playing in the pool. I am so excited that you went to swimming lessons and can practice swimming this summer. Meme has always liked to swim too.
