Just keep swimming!!

This was Braxton's second summer of swim lessons but it was his first summer of getting in the pool solo without mommy or daddy. 

He was so brave day 1 when we arrived and he walked up and joined the big group of kids with no trouble. We were worried because Braxton technically wasn't 3 yet which was the minimum age for the group. 

Swim lessons started by "testing" all the kids. This consisted of letting them jump of the wall and see what happened. Of course Braxton sunk like a rock and came up coughing and sputtering. After a few more "tests" Braxton found himself in the level 1 beginner group which included 3 kiddos on the stairs all crying. 

By day 3 we worked out the kinks and lessons started going really well. We were really impressed during his second week. Braxton proved he could jump off the big diving board, dive down for rings, and "swim" a few feet to the wall. Overall it was a huge success.
