RJ has taken swim lessons for the past three summers. He hasn't been able to swim on his own without some kind of floating device. As I watched him in swim class this past summer I noticed that he was still a little unsure of him self. I knew he could do it if some one worked with him individually and gave him a little more confidence. The HS swim instructors weren't going to really give him what he needed even in the small size swim class he was in.
After we moved to VA we were in a hotel for almost a week. The hotel had a pool. The kids LOVED it. We went every night. The first night, Jared worked with RJ one on one with his swimming and after 5 minutes, RJ final got it. He is so proud of himself and we are so proud of him that he can final swim on his own. Now we just have to get the bike riding down.
Savannah on the other hand has way too much confidence. She believes with all her heart that she can swim with or without a floating device. She has no problem what so ever jumping into a pool and going under. This girl has no fear. After her parents spent the first pool day saving her life every two minutes, we invested in a swimsuit/floatie vest. One of the best purchases we have made in a while. This things helps her stay a float and keeps us at ease while giving Savannah some freedom in the water.
Zachery spent some time in the pool as well. He kicked his feet a little but could really care less. As long as mommy was holding him.
Once we got into the apartment the kids were excited to find that there was a pool here as well. We have enjoyed this feature a lot. Here are some pictures of the kids at the pool here in the apartment complex. (These were taken the end of August)
