Swimming Lessons

Alexa and Gavin had their first preschool level one swim lesson on Sunday. They are so excited about "swimming school." This is the first time they've taken lessons without a parent in the water with them. There were a total of 4 children in their group- Alexa & Gavin plus another girl and boy and they had two college student instructors. Gavin did an excellent job of listening and following instructions. Alexa didn't follow instructions as well because she kept diving underwater and swimming around so she couldn't hear what they were saying. Alexa is very comfortable in the water and has pretty much already taught herself how to swim. She must have impressed the instructors because after class, they approached us and said that they were advancing her up to level 3 next week! Now we just need to work on her listening skills! She just gets so excited and she's also stubborn and just wants to do her own thing.
Matt and I were very proud of both of them. We have visions of us all competing in triathlons someday as a family. It will be so fun and special!
