Swimming Lessons

Matt and Adam have just finished a month of swimming lessons, and each of them has come so far! Matt, who literally wouldn't LOOK at the water when he was 2, is becoming a very strong swimmer. He glides through the water with ease doing his freestyle stroke and his butterfly is amazing for a 7 year old! He now loves to go on the waterslides at Lifetime over and over and over again...something he wasn't willing to do last year.

This was Adam's first summer in lessons, and after only a day of feeling a little timid, he did great! He loves going under water for sticks, is able to swim about 20 yards on his own before needing a breath, and loves to be in the water. It's been a very fun summer watching both of them improve so much!
