This summer I put Calvin in swimming lessons. I am happy to report that it was great. Calvin took to the water like a fish and passed with flying colors. It helps that he was totally willing to stick his face right in the water. He loved putting his face in and talking to Nemo through the water. He still does that in the bathtub. We were lucky with our class. Usually the class is two teachers per five kids, but Calvin's class only had two kids in it, so he was able to get a lot of one on one with his teachers. I am excited for the next round of swimming lessons to start, but we will probably wait until next summer.
Here Calvin is learning to make "ice cream scoops" with his hands to tread the water.
I was never quite sure what they were having him do with this pose. It didn't seem to mean dive down like I would expect. Maybe it was for kicking on his back? I could never tell exactly what was going on with this one, but he got pretty good at sticking hands up in the air!
