Swimming lessons

Swimming lessons are about over, just one week left and we are sad about this. Myles has the most amazing teacher, she is so good at what she does. Myles has learned so much, most importantly though, being comfortable in water. It's been a lot of fun for Jay and I too. Tuesday's, I hop in the water with Myles, Thursday's is Jay's day, each of us having so much fun.
At the beginning of each class, the kids pick their own water toy to throw and kick and paddle to.

Here's Myles kicking and paddling to get his toy.
Working on blowing bubbles.

Next up, kicking while chewing on his water toy.

Jay, Myles and his teacher as Myles shows off his moves.
New for the day, jumping in the water.

At the start and end of each class, the group forms a circle and sings a song. First is the hoki pokie, at the end is "I'm a little pancake," to the tune of " I'm a little teapot." At the end of the song, flipping the children from back to stomach as if flipping the pancake. We just love it.
If Myles finishes class and was a good boy, we head to the kids swimming pool. He is in love with the buckets and dragon slide. Good job buddy, what a fun first year of lessons.
