Swimming Lessons

Now that Matt is 3 1/2 we decided that now is a good time to put him in a more structured activity so someone else can entertain him, where he can learn something new.  We enrolled him in the two week course for at the local aquatic center, where he goes Mon. through Fri. for a half an hour to swim.  He was really excited to go to the first lesson, but when he realized that it wasn't just playing with toys in the water, he decided he didn't want to do it anymore.  The second day he cried through his whole lesson.  Luckily his teachers are young and don't have any kids really patient and they worked with him a lot to help him be happy in the water.  After the third day he was pretty much loving swimming lessons.  We have only completed the first week and have one more week left to do, hopefully this week Matt can work on listening to his teachers instead of just wanting to start water fights with the girl next to him :)

He loves to bob up and down on the side of the pool, and that would be the little girl who he loves to splash. My children are classy.
