Swim Season Begins

The beginning of the swim season is upon us! We enrolled the girls in swim lessons this month to get their skills up to par before summer begins! We have switched to a new swim school this year after multiple recommendations. We had heard about it before but they don't take kids under 3 yrs old so last year, it was not an option for us (unless we were going to drive them to different places). So far we really like it (it's so quiet without all the babies... Whew, What a change!). These pictures are from last week's first lesson.

Ryan learning some strokes from Natalie. Ironically Natalie used to be an instructor at the old school but she has converted too!


Charlie patiently waiting her turn on the "kicky bar"


Shy Charlie quickly found some friends to hang out with while Ryan was having her lesson. No surprise there!


This school uses a surfboard to help the kids learn to use their arms properly in the water! Ryan loved it!


Look at our little surfer girl!


Charlie practicing her skills and loving every moment!

We'll look forward to swim updates!
Love the purple (no surprise) goggles, Charlie! And Ryan, you are quite the surfer girl (Uncle Bubba says he will take you out to surf anytime)!
Love you Xo
