Swim Class #3

Swimming class today went well. There were only 3 families there, including us, so it didn't feel as crowded as usual. Alexander had a ball and got into the water right away, he even let me put on the floaties without too much of a fuss.

We swam around and I tried to get him to kick to different places he wanted to go. We went to see the little baby (who's 7 months old) and the Daddy showed Alexander how the little girl goes under water by blowing on her face first. Alexander said he wanted to go under the water but didn't quite get the concept down of closing his mouth first.

We tried it a few times but I didn't fully put him under and then the time I was ready to and thought he understood the closing of his mouth, he opened it right as he was about to go under so he got a mouth-full. But he was good and kept right on kicking, jumping & swimming.

As we were getting changed, he even wanted to try out the shower. He didn't fully stand under but he got a lot further than he did last week. Baby Steps. He's all excited to go back next week which I think next week's lesson will be how to blow bubbles in the water.
