Ian received swim lessons from his CiCi (or sis as he has changed her name too when in reality her real name is Marci and for short we call her Marcc (with very soft "c's") for his Birthday with Little Fins Swim School (CiCi's business) she is up north for the month of January to conduct lessons not only for Ian but for about 18 other families in the area.
Week 1:
Day 1: it took the 2 of us to get his swim diaper on. He was not thrilled at all he continued to say "done, all done" throughout the entire 10min session but never refused to do/try anything. He swam from CiCi to the ladder and from CiCi to the gutter. He also worked on rolling over and floating on his back. That evening I told him we would be going to see CiCi tomorrow and he said "yea Ci, pool, ducky"
Day 2: as quickly as we got into the pool area he wanted to get out. But he pulled up his swim diaper and went in kicking and screaming. He never once refused to do anything CiCi said, he often times had his face in the water before CiCi was ready. Worked on swimming to side of pool at an angle, rolling over and floating.
Day 3: he had the same feelings about the pool today as he did on day 2. But again was a trooper, worked on more floating, and CiCi mentioned serveral times that he is very touchy meaning when laying on his back floating CiCi supports (guides) and wherever her hands are he reaches for them.
Day 4: no tears till it was time to get in. Worked on swimming to CiCi's fingers and more rolling over and floating. Gotta get him to do airplane arms and not hands behind the head relaxing arms.
Day 5: same response to the pool as Day 4. Floating was on the books for today. He did better and floated for a seconds all my himself.
