We have SWIMMERS...almost

Still too soon to call it but this just might be our last year of swim lessons....we have Grant children who are swimming...or at least something close to it!!

Winston mastered cannonballs and the pool crazies a few summers ago...we were lacking in the "swim technique" department. This was ever so frustrating for me - I grew up in the water nonstop and swimming came quickly and easily; I also think swimming is simply a LIFE SKILL -- a healthy respect for the water and the ability to swim is essential for safety.

We've been spending some time with Ms. Samantha who is showing the Grant kids how it's done in the pool. She's patient and sweet and the kids love her - after a few years of "swim lessons gone bad" we have had 2 good years in a row of great instruction and that plus general comfort in the water is giving us some great progress!
A relaxed Winston learns to float....MIRACLE!

Kicks and More Kicks
I love those fish lips on our girl....
Arrow to Ms Sam - Go Lilly Go!
She made it and I love Ms Sam's constant positive reinforcement

Gotta go - we've got some swimming to do!
