Swim Lessons

James has always loved the water.  Even last summer when he was just a wee-little guy, he LOVED going to the pool and splashing around.

As James is getting older, we decided it was a good time to get him some swim lessons.  We found a local swim school that has classes during the summer once a week for about 12 weeks total.  

About five minutes into our first "test" class - we knew we were going to sign James up for the full schedule as he was having a blast!  He was smiles the whole lesson and he even cried when it was time to get out of the pool!

We just finished James' 4th class and this time I was able to capture some photos and videos while Brian handled the little guy.  

Swim diapers on and ready for class to start!

Mommy - why do you keep taking pictures of me??

Sitting on the wall before his jump into the pool.  James is up to THREE seconds of being under the water after a jump and next week, we will try four!

I will try and post some of the video later if I have a chance!
