Swimming lessons...

Zach is really enjoying this set of swimming lessons. The pool is so quiet, and his class is the only thing happening at that time. He has finally warmed up to his teacher - the first day he had a substitute that he really liked, so the 2nd lesson he was in tears for almost half the class. Now he is o.k. with the guy. Seth likes to go too. Since there is no other classes going on, Seth basically has the run of the benches, chairs, and whatever else is there to climb and zoom his cars on. He packs his little bag that you sent him full of cars and trucks and super heros! Zach is doing pretty well. He held his breath today for 5 seconds, and is relaxed enough to float on his back for a brief moment without being supported. He has quite a way to go before he is swimming. Maybe our time in Antigua will speed that up?? We'll see...






Zach and Seth like to play for a few minutes and have a very small snack outside before lessons start. Occasionally Seth and I will hang out here while Zach is having his lessons, but we like to watch too!!








There is a big life guarding chair that Seth enjoys sitting in...he is concentrating very hard on his book.





Zach is searching for his orange ring that his teacher threw when he wasn't looking...



On a mission to get to the other pool! He is looking like such a big boy here.

Getting ready to slide off the bottom of the slide. The teacher puts them as far up as he can, then splashes a bunch of water on them and the slide and pulls them into the pool. The kids LOVE it...

Sliding in...
