October 8, 2010 "Last day of swim lessons, winter clothes testing"

Well, it took seven weeks, but both kids learned the swim-float-swim technique and passed the ISR swim test. We are so proud of both of them. Keegan started out so afraid of the water, and on the last day he said, "I don't want to get out!" Keira put up quite a fight and still doesn't really like to float, but she knows how and that's all that really matters. Yeah Keegan and Keira...and Mommy for driving them to lessons every day for seven weeks! It was so worth it.
Before they took the plunge


Keegan swims

then floats

Simulated fall off the pool ledge

They go down about 3 feet deep into the water then have to assume the float position
She surfaces
and floats
Brrrr it was cold that morning
