Swim Lessons with Little Fins Swim School Week 4

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 our area.


Week 4: just gotta say these 4 weeks have flown by!

Day 1: Today Papa Jim came to watch!  Ian continued to have excitement and has embraced the lessons he has learned.  He has a strong kick and knows when he needs to roll over and float to rest.

Day 2: The calm before the storm (day 3 is the storm).

Day 3: Today was a big day, kinda like a test day.  Lessons started off fully clothed: pants, shorts, hoodie, socks, and shoes

 
As you can see in the video Ian did exactly what he learned roll over and float until help arrives or until he has rested to roll back over and swim to the side.

Day 4: no negative side effects from yesterday's lesson of being fully clothed.  He continues to trust his Sis and the lessons and has great instincts.

Day 5: last day, we can now get into the pool from the side solo.  My plans are to get him into a pool at least 2x a month to practice what he has learned these last 4 weeks.  Happy instructor with a happy swimmer who is getting the water.
