Swimming Lessons

Grady started swimming lessons a few weeks ago and is a Rock Star!! He passed his group lessons last summer and is flying through individual lessons this summer. She has taught him to...

Stand on her legs and jump up real high like a 'rocket' then
come up out of the water and regain his standing position on his own
Jump in the 3 foot and swim back to the
edge all by himself! He's Awesome at doing this!!To back float without a buoy

And to kick like a frog and make 'scoops' with his
hands to be a better swimmer!

His favorite thing thus far is being able to jump in the pool and get back to the edge without anyone's help. He can walk across the pool as well only in the 3 foot of course but he 'bobs' and does a great job keeping his head above water. He's doing great and gets lots of practice with his strokes and kicking while we are at the lake. He can't wait to stop the boat to jump in and SWIM!!

For my cousins...I took the boy's to Uncle Tom's the other day and Grady can fully move around the 3 ft area and ya know, I remember the 'deep' end being SOdeep as we were growing up when all the boys were trying to drown me. But I was touching with my head above water...6 ft pha! No Way! :) Good Times had by all!!
