oNe fiSh tWo fIsH

These two little fishes just finished their first session of swimming...we ALL loved swimming lessons!



Side note: Troy was EMBARRASSED when I asked him to stand by Brock for this picture :( I managed to get this pic by telling him no one would notice since classes were switching and there was a lot of commotion. Afterwords, he said he just wanted me to take "in the pool" pictures. pheeew
Troy did fantastic in his class of eight- and nine-year-olds! The little stinker passed this level and will be with the "big kids" now. 

He is an outstanding little swimmer; it feels good knowing that if I ever come close to drowning, Troy can save my life ;)
He was SO EXCITED when his teacher took them to the deep, diving section. They got to torpedo swim across then swim back, all on their own.
Brock LOVED his first ever session of swimming lessons! He had the cutest little perma-smile and made quite the impression on the other parents; they loved watching him too. 

He learned a lot and it's so cute seeing him kick his little legs and spin those little arms around. He has a few more techniques to work on before he'll move up to the next level but being the smallest in his class, he was fearless!

Baby Cael practiced his bubble blowing technique on the side lines.
(crazy hair day for the instructors)

Troy said his favorite things from swimming were doing the jellyfish floats (hugging knees to chest while floating face down) and making a big jump in at the end of each class.

Brock said his favorite thing he did during lessons were ice cream scoops with his hands...and jumping in!


(See how Brock's head barely surfaced the water?)
