Swim Lessons

We started our swim lessons a couple of weeks ago at Emler's Swim School! Craig is loving his Saturday morning date with young Tripp. We've had 2 lessons and so far Tripp is totally digging it!

Right now Tripp is a waterbaby at Emlers (6mos-3 yrs). We go on Saturdays for 30 minutes. I like that the classes are small, there are only 2 other babies in our class. The beginner's class is focused on getting the babies comfortable in the water. They teach the kids to hang onto the edge of the pool, so if they were to fall in, they would know to hang on to the edge (too scary to even think about). They also teach them to hold their breathe, float, and kick their little legs. At his second lesson, Tripp went under the water 3 times. I would say more like he got dunked 3 times! He didn't mind one bit and just coughed a little.

One perk to swim lessons is that the little angel is pooped afterwards and takes a nice morning nap, yay for Mom & Dad!

We are super excited to see how he advances over the next few months & I am looking forward to having some fun pool time with Tripp over the summer :-)

We love swimming for our duckies! We also do this at home in the bath with Daddy!
