Swim Lessons Anyone?

We tried our hand at swim lessons over the weekend. Of course we went to an indoor, heated pool where the only job for the people there is to teach people how to swim, and expose children to the pool.  I was pretty excited about this for us and for Cameron. We're water people and we spend lots of time at the lake, we also have a pool in our backyard and I want Cameron to be a fish! 

Cameron did great, but the flow of the class and the swim school weren't really what I was expecting. They definitely get an A+ in cheesy-ness, but I was a little disappointed overall.  I know it's going to take more than one class to get used to the idea of being in a pool and have Cameron doing the butterfly stroke, but I was just expecting more.  I definitely wasn't sold on the package of swim lessons.

We watched, we listened and we'll work with Cameron on our own this summer at home and at the lake. If we need a "refresher" we'll go back, or I will look for something different and more our speed. 

I do love this little munchkin in the water though.

Regardless of what silly song the swim instructor was making us sing (see video below), he's got to be the cutest little polliwog!

For most of the time he was happy to be in the water with his Dad and play, but there were moments where he wanted to rebel and not go along with the standard instruction.

Hmm...sound like anyone else you might know?

These two are so alike, sometimes it surprises me just how much.

P.S. I think by mid-summer, Tim will probably have one of these little pool-style, jungle gyms built for our pool. It was by far our favorite part of swim lessons.
