A while back, Kathy had mentioned to me that maybe we should put Sawyer into a swimming class to get him a little more comfortable in the water. We looked into it and found this wonderful swim school called 'Swimtastic' right near Nana & Papa's house! And wouldn't you know, that the only evening that they had available for his age group is Tuesday? And Tuesday is one of the days that Sawyer spends with Nana & Papa since Bill and I have Bible Study that evening? Doesn't that just work out nicely?!? (Can you hear me chuckling in the background?) So, Nana's bright idea landed her with taking him to swimming class every week :)
He just LOVES it! He can't wait for Tuesday to come so he can go see Mr. Alex, his teacher. The water is a nice 90 degrees (apparently the optimal temperature for little bodies to learn to swim naturally.) There are only four kids in his class and he has learned SO much already!
They are learning the back float, how to kick their legs and paddle with their arms and will hopefully be able to swim across the pool by themselves by the end of the course!
And Sawyer's favorite part is at the end of class when they each get a turn to slide down the big purple slide :)
