One of the items on my to do list for the past couple of years was to get Grant signed up for some swim lessons. I finally made it a priority as Grant is now 4 and we are at the pool a lot. I decided to get him private one on one lessons in order to hopefully get him swimming faster. I found a teacher that teaches at a home in Almaden. Even though it was a 20 minute drive each way, it was so worth it! He learned to swim much fast than Andrew and Claire did with group lessons. Here he is during one of the first lessons blowing bubbles in the water.
Getting used to the water with his favorite teacher - Janie.
Jumping off the edge for the first time.
On the way back we drove the "back" way home which was past Calero Lake. We stopped one day and took these pictures with the pretty sky and background.
Grant took three sessions total and was swimming by the end. Here he is with a kick board.
Swimming to his teacher.
Floating on his back.
Diving for rings. He came from not being able to swim at all to swimming the short length of the pool. He will probably still need some lessons next summer but he did great. He worked really hard to learn to swim. I am so glad that we did private lessons.
