Swimming Lessons

So, for weeks we've been talking up swimming lessons which started yesterday...or as Pierce calls it, "swim school". Last summer he was timid in the water and stuck to us like a leach.  He's been so excited he even got on the carpet the other night imitating to his dad how he was going to swim. He gave me a big thumbs up on our way in and wouldn't even stop talking!

He was checking out the pool while we waited on the instructors and couldn't wait to go in,  there were TONS of kids too.  Several group classes go on at the same time.  Parents were welcome to stay poolside, but I decided he would do best if I was nowhere in sight.  So, I watched from the window instead.  I only saw him scream once, so I considered it a success!

He was even happy at the end of class, so at least I don't have to drag him in next time. He said, "Mommy, I'm a good swimmer!" I hope that's the case by the end of the class!
