Swim Lessons!

We started Waterbabies swim lessons last night! Bryce had a great time, kicking and splashing the whole class. We sang lots of corny swim songs. In fact, I think this one penned just for Bryce: "I'm a little swimmer, short and stout..." :)

Bryce "jumped" off the side of the pool a few times, from a sitting position. He didn't submerge yesterday, but we are building up to that.

I think his favorite activity was in the "motorboat", which is a noodle with the ends tied together. I put him in the noodle, and he holds onto the front, while we kick, kick, kick to chase some plastic balls around the pool.

The only time he got upset was the very end of class, but I think it was because he was tired and hungry. Each kid gets to go down the 3' plastic slide into the pool, while we sing a goodbye song thanking them for coming to swim lessons. Bryce started crying at the top of the slide, but he was over it by the time he hit the water.
