Dillon took swimming lessons this week. I knew that he was ready for lessons when we went swimming in California back in April. He thought that just because he turned 5 he could swim. Makes perfect sense to me! We went down to the pool at our hotel and he walked up and jumped in the pool. Luckily Brandon was there to pull him out.
He did a great job during his lessons. He has a hard time using straight legs to kick. He tends to buckle his knees and try to kick, which makes him sink! However, he loves his new Darth Vader swimsuit and new goggles. He wears the goggles in the bath tub and holds his breath and pretends to swim. Miss Amber was a great, patient teacher. We are going to have to go swimming a lot this summer so that he can practice what he has learned. Here are a couple of highlights from his lessons.

Dillon knew most of the kids in his class. He had a great time swimming with his friends.
Dillon did great floating on his back.
Since they listened so well during their lesson, Miss Amber let them go down the water slide. Definately a highlight of the day!

Is this a public pool or someone's backyard? It sure is pretty!
It is someone's backyard. Isn't it fun? I would love to have it for the kids to play.
