Max is SWIMMING!!

Last week we took group swim lessons from Holly Self!! She was amazing!! Max was in a level 1 class with three other kids and 2 teachers. There was another level 1 class at the same time with 2 teachers so they all just joined together. Each day they had lessons from 11:30 to 12:30 and on Friday we got to come the last 20 minutes to see what all they had learned!!

First up was swimming with the barbells!!  Max is swimming to Mrs. Holly.

He was so excited to see that Nana, Daddy, Emery, and me all came to see him swim!! 

What a good power kick!! Go Max Go!!

Here they acted like animals and jumped into the ring by themselves!! It was so cute to here all the different animals each kid picked! After they jumped in they came to standing position and walked over to the stairs. Mrs. Holly said this was actually a level 2 skill but she taught it to them since the kids were doing so well with going under!! So PROUD of my lil guy for jumping off all by himself and going under! This is a huge accomplishment because just days ago he wouldn't jump off the side of the pool without you catching him. He DID NOT want to go under the water!! Now he LOVES it!!!

Next skill was showing us how they could dunk their heads under the water with goggles on to find a little swim toy! 

Lining up to go to the deeper end to do a little swimming!!!

All the boys came over and were swimming off the stairs back and forth to the teachers!!

Max was under the water swimming!! I am so PROUD of him!! He does have a long way to go still but he has really learned SO MUCH this week!! I can't believe how long he can stay under water!! 

The boys heading over to the bull frog jump (that's what Mrs. Holly called it)

The kids jumped in and then got themselves to a horizontal position to swim on top of the water this time!!

Max swimming to the stairs!!

Can't believe just a week later and he is doing some amazing things!! We LOVE Mrs. Holly!! 

Not sure if you can tell below...but the last skill was showing how they "sleep" in the water!! So cute!!

The kids all lined up for their applause :)

Then Mrs. Holly let them have a little playtime!! Max was throwing the football!!

I tried to get a good picture of little miss but she just wasn't having it today! LOL 

She did however do so well today!! She sat and watched all the little kids swimming!! I am pretty sure that was the MOST STILL she was all day!! Ha!

At the end the kids all got a yummy popsicle treat!! Such a GREAT week of swimming!! So so glad that Max had so much fun and he really LOVED it!! What a blessing!!

Now to keep practicing those skills!!
