The kids are doing great with their swim lessons, despite how awful they sound screaming throughout. They are half way through week 4. Keira has actually passed the rollover and float portion and has moved onto to learning the swim portion. Once she masters that she will move onto putting both together and perform the swim-float-swim. She's doing awesome with the swimming, she likes being dunked under the water better than she like the floating which is weird. Keegan has mastered his float and has moved on to working on rolling over from face down into his float. He's taking a little longer than Keira, he's less confident in the water, but is still doing really great. I could not have imagined they would be this far 4 weeks ago. Their instructor is really amazing. I wish we'd done this sooner. The first video at the bottom is Keegan floating and the second video is of Keira simulating a fall backward into the pool and rotating herself under water then assuming the float position, pretty cool.
Keira working on opening her eyes under the water (necessary to be able to find the wall or steps of the pool after she falls in)
Keegan floats all by himself!
