This summer, we decided to join our neighborhood pool, and it was one of the best decisions we have made. The boys and I have practically lived there this summer with the 90 + degree weather we've been having.
Another perk is the free swim lessons they offered for A. We would bike over, he'd do lessons from 11 - 11:30, we'd eat lunch and be ready to swim at noon when the pool opened up.
At the beginning of the summer, both boys were really timid. Especially A who didn't want to put his face in the water. But the more we went, the more confidence he gained. Soon he was doing flips underwater, jumping in off the side and teaching himself how to dive. Last week, he decided to conquer the diving board. After two or three days of jumping in to mommy, he decided to try it by himself. He can now DIVE OFF THE BOARD by himself with NO ONE in the water! What an amazing change from the beginning of the summer! I want to get a picture of it before the pool closes.
