Swimming with the shark

Week 2 of swim class went a bit better for Lukas. He slowly began to participate in more of the activities, and afterwards he always talked about how he loved going under water "3 times!".




Lennon joined us for the final class, and it didn't take long until his shoes were off and he started to get wet. I think I amused the other parents there as I continued to repeat "Lennon... Lennon.. Lennon! Out of the water, Lennon... Good boy, Lennon......... Lennon... Lennon.. Lennon!"


This week Lukas actually did his Superman arms,



And kicks!


Lennon anxiously awaited the big plunge,


Score!



Lukas then performed a few assisted - and unassisted - swim strokes.


Here is Lennon with the toy fish that he kept digging out of the water (note the shorts).


And happy Lukas, all proud of himself!

All in all, it ended up being a great experience for him. He still gets very nervous and upset before a lot of the swim activities, but he is definitely a lot more comfortable than last week.
