Landon's Swimming Lessons

What's Summer with out Swimming Lessons?
Landon has always LOVED the water and has been so good to jump in and wasn't afraid of anything........ until... he was swimming and lost his footing and panicked. Ever since then, he would NOT leave your side in the pool, jump in, go down slides or anything else related to putting your face in the water. I didn't want him to be afraid of the water so I decided it was time for Swimming Lessons :)
This was his first time doing Swim Lessons; And He did SUCH a GOOD JOB!!!

He Learned how to do Swim Kicks
it was so fun to watch, the teacher would be behind them telling them to splash her, so the kicks were really BIG ones

He also Learned.....
to float on his back,
to swim on his tummy
and to use swim arms and legs,

AND to put his Face in water!
And Go down the Slide!

He is still not sure about jumping into the water.
We have been trying to spend Lots of time in the water so that he'll get comfortable with it again.
He did Really Good and is excited for round 2 of Swim Lessons that starts in August!!!
