We've been waiting for the day that we could officially start swimming lessons with Kyle! Adam and I both love the water and it's only fitting since we loooove to spend our free time down the Cape, especially in the summer! We had to wait until he was 6 months old per the rules of the YMCA, where the lessons are taking place. We missed the last session by a week, but were able to get into the Winter Session that started January 8th. We figured Kyle would like the experience as he enjoyed a few dips in the pool last summer, and he loves his baths. But we never knew that he would LOOOOOOOVE swimming lessons this much! We're taking the lessons at the YMCA in East Bridgewater with instructors Brian and Meghan. Kyle enjoyed every minute of being in his swim trunks in the dead of winter and getting into the pool! He splashed and kicked and smiled the whole 30 minutes both days that we've gone. The videos show his excitement and we also managed to get a TON of pictures (are you surprised?)
The bad news of this is....Kyle came down with a double-ear infection and only two weeks into swimming class, the doctor has recommended that we refrain from any swimming until his ear infections are gone. We're going to call the Y and are hoping that they'll let us finish the next 5 classes in the next session. If not, we have enough swimmers in the family that we can train him on our own, but it was fun while it lasted - I'm sure he'll miss his friends that he met too!
And a couple videos to really show you how excited he was!
"Swimming with Daddy"
"Swimming with Mommy"
He really does LOVE the water! We had to stop lessons at the Y with Gemma because of ear infections. But she did fine in pools during the summer
