Swim lessons

In the past Parx would cry whenever we tried to take him swimming. I'm not sure why because he loves bath time, and his water table, but the larger pools just scared him. So I thought a Mom and Tot class would be a good way to help him over come this, and sure enough it was:) We got some friends to do it with us which made it even more fun of course.
The first day was scary and the teacher said it could take a couple of days for him to warm up and if not then it may never change ( I was nervous about the other) but sure enough the second day he was excited and ready. We practiced floating on our back, blowing bubbles (not Parx favorite), jumping/ being pulled from the side, kicking (Parx's favorite) and others.
Of course we still have a lot of work but this was a great start. I think water safety is very important so we will continue lessons until he is a little fish in the water:)
