Swimming Lessons

Champs had his first round of swimming lessons the week before the beach.  I wouldn't call them wildly successful, but it did get him used to going under and learning to hold his breath.  I think I'll still keep him in swimmies for this summer and make next summer our big summer for truly learning how to swim! We did lessons at the same time as his best buddy James, which helped them to get excited about them.  Champs would act like he was thrilled about the lessons each day until he was actually in the water!  There were a lot of tears and "I want my Mommy!!!!" Haha - oh well, guess we all have to start somewhere with learning how to swim!  He must have gotten something out of it though b/c he loved "going under" in the ocean and in the little inflatable pool we took to the beach!
