Swim Lessons

Corbin had his first swim lesson on Monday! He was so excited, so much so that he had a hard time concentrating and listening to the teacher. But other than a couple reminders to pay attention, he did a pretty good job. He is very willing to get into the water, if he can touch the bottom or hold on to someone, but when they try to get him to paddle out into deeper water he freaks out and clings to the instructor like a baby monkey. Bless her heart she tried to show him that he was perfectly safe with the float on and he would do okay, but then he would look for her and realize she wasn't holding him and he would freak out again.

After seeing how much he struggled with going on his own, I have a feeling we will be in swim lessons all summer . . . On a happy note, Nora was so excited to watch Corbin swim that she allowed me to sign her up for swim lessons too. She is going for the one week crash course at the end of June. I have also decided that Randall is going to be the one to take her and deal with the stubbornness that will inevitably occur.
