Swimming Lessons

This summer my neighbor decided to do swimming Lessons in their backyard pool! It was FABULOUS!!! My kids could walk there while Grady slept and I loved the small classes and personal attention that they gave the kids!

Here they are holding up their Certificate on the last day!











Floating on their Backs!!She really isn't strangling Chester...She is trying to teach him how to hold his chin up...







The very last day of their lessons, the teachers have a coin Dive. They put various amounts of coin in the pool and let the kids go crazy! What a great way to help them learn to go under water!

After both lessons's, Melinda collected the money from the kids and went up to Pace and bought Pace Pops! (YUMMY) It was a fun two weeks!

They were so cute to watch swim. I hope they teach them again soon. I loved the diving board faces the best.

When I was growing up my favorite part of Summer was swimming lessons.

I would dive for money to buy a Pace bar too! Sounds like fun swimming lessons.
