Instead of signing all 6 littles up for "group" swimming lessons which would leave me sitting by the pool ALL DAY, they took private lessons this year at a nearby pool. Nearby when you are in the sticks is 30 minutes give or take. Each of the 6 littles had their OWN instructor-so NICE!
We are blessed to have such a cool pool near us with a zero entry AND the infamous TURTLE SLIDE. SO HELPFUL to moms of a tribe of littles. We make a weekly trip here to swim as a family.
WE ALL (Captain included) LOVE WATER! Whether it is a pool or the ocean. We feel swimming is a very important skill for the kids to learn.
Here they all are in the water with their instructors.
All 6 learned new skills!
They learned how to jump in.
DIVE
Put their faces under the water..
AND HAD SUCH A GOOD TIME!
The staff was SO SWEET with the kids, even the young guys!
Here are the girls with their instructors
And the boys-WyWy is missing in this one because he just belly flopped off the high dive and had a sore tummy!
At the end of the week we are proud to announce, we now have
4 level 2 swimmers
1 level 4 swimmer
AND
1 level 6 swimmer
ALL 6 went off the diving board also-2 even made it off the high dive!
It is A TON of work to take the kids to the pool with sunscreen, snacks, a nursing baby-blah blah...
I am trying to sucker The Captain into getting a pool one day SOON.
Until then, we will be packing up the TRIBE & heading East to the public pool.
I REALLY think we would get a lot of use out of it.
If you have a pool, do you feel get your $$$worth out of it??
