SWIM LESSONS!!!

A Family Affair!
So I decided it was time for the boys to have swim lessons... Gabe took a Parent/Tot swim class with Corey last April and May. He loved it and completed the eight week session at Lacamas Swim and Sport. Spendy, but Gabriel loved it and was much more comfortable in the water.
Fastforward to summer.... Now I want Gavin and Grant to take a Parent/Tot class, but with twins you HAVE to have 2 parents in the water, because there are 2 kiddos in the water, therefore Corey and I have to BOTH participate in the class. Hmm... well then, what do we do with Gabriel?
Problem solved, (I'm a genius), let's do private lessons at Miss Shannon's where she will instruct a Parent/Tot class for Corey and I with Gavin and Grant WHILE Miss Shannon will work with Gabriel at Level 1 swim instruction. PERFECT!!!!!! I love it when things actually work out. :)

Corey in the water first, then inviting your child (Gavin) to join you in the water. Gavin splashing Daddy!


We worked hard on getting your child to relax into a supported back float. Grant was a fish!


Corey and Miss Shannon playing with the boys! Classes were so stinkin' fun!!
Miss Shannon rocks!

Gabriel and Miss Shannon working on going under and blowing out through the nose!



Daddy doing double duty while I jump off the diving board with Gabriel! Gabe and I would hold hands and JUMP IN!!



This time Gabriel jumped off the diving board to Miss Shannon ALONE!! So Brave!!!!!




Corey being world best daddy!! What a wonderful husband and amazing daddy!!!



Gabe loves jumping in and being thrown up. He doesn't mind going under at all, especially if FUN is involved!



Gavin kicking. Good job Gavie!!



Grant's turn. Kicking like crazy to the edge. They are going to be swimmers!!




Gavin jumping in the going all the way under. They were amazing!!



Grant's jump (and dunk!) :)




Safe with Daddy. No worries!


Getting out using the ladder after a half an hour class, boy did they love using the ladder!!
Good times, beautiful pool, precious family memories
and Mommy is savoring every minute!

We had a good time floating and splashing. I almost wanted to ask her to have open swim times, so we could go in a few more times this summer. Glad you guys had fun too.
