Swim Lessons 2009

Today was Benjamin's first day of swimming lessons. It started off exactly how I thought it would. The first picture below shows his initial reaction - tears. However, his instructor is great! After just a few moments she was able to convince him to not only get into the pool but also put his face in the water. Then he even swam with her on a noodle back and forth to each side of the pool. The lessons are supposed to be 30 minutes but due to Benjamin's short attention span we decided to cut it down to 20 minutes. He had some tearful outbursts from time to time but overall he did a great job and I think he even had fun.

At first, Benjamin didn't want to get in.

















It didn't take long for him to change his mind and here he is putting his face in the water.
