Swimming Lessons with Coach Malcolm

The second week of May, we had the privelge of taking swimming lessons again for the second year in a row with Coach Malcolm in a beautiful setting. Usually he likes the kids to do 2 consecutive weeks in a row but because we were planning to be out of town the second week of our lessons, he allowed us to split them up. So the first week we were with the same group as last year, our friends, Mabry and her sister Briley, Liam, and Reed and his brother Cade. The first day was much like last year with practically all the kids being relunctant to swim and having Coach M instruct them on what to do. Daniel screamed and cried but Coach Malcolm was so good with him. At one point, Daniel walked away and told me it was time to go home. Poor little dude! But the next day was SOOOO much better!! No screaming. By the 3rd day, he willing went to Coach when it was his turn...WOW, I was one proud momma!!






The pool filter is always so fascinating for the littles! Last year we found a mole in there, and L.A. accidently touched it, she thought she was feeling around for a pool toy, ewwwwww! This year just some spiders, a frog, leaves, & some pool toys.




Cade was so brave catching that frog!! Daniel almost killed it with his tight grip but thankfully, I think it got away!



The first week of June, we were able to finish the lessons with our friends, Ava, Ella, Ellie, and Aubrey. Daniel is a little fish! He is a wild man in the pool now, constantly jumping to me from the side of the pool, putting his face in the water, & kicking his feet. My mom brought him to swimming lessons this past Wednesday while I was at work and she said he swam the width of the pool (with Coach M right with him, but he did it!!!) On Thursday, he swam the length of the pool!! Woohoo!


These 3 were so cute looking throuh the gate out at the lake.



Even this little man got to dip in the pool throughout the week. Next year it will be your turn little Ethan, isn't he SO CUTE!!! :)



Thank you Coach Malcolm for the wonderful swimming lessons, I think Daniel is hooked on swimming now!!
