Swimming Lessons


The past two weeks Bentley was in swimming lessons.  I was amazed how fun the teachers made it.  Every skill was taught in a game.  Bentley absolutely LOVED it! Another good thing is there were only 2 other kids in his class. Since I started training for my last triathlon Bentley would come to the pool with me, since then he has been like a fish.  He definitely doesn't have a fear of water, which I'm so glad he doesn't.  The swimming lessons helped him even more to not be afraid and learn the very basics of swimming techniques.  His favorite part was the last day.  On the last day the kids got to go down the slide and off the diving board.  The diving board was the highlight!  Bentley loved the diving board so much he ran from the beginning of the diving board and jumped off.  He thought that was great.  He tells everyone he sees about jumping off the diving board.

PS My triathlon pictures were missing for a little bit and I've finally found them.  They're on my fitness blog now.

Looks like fun! I'm impressed, I don't think I would have dared jump off the diving board at 5! When can they start swimming lessons? Kaysen would love them.

They can start at 2 or 3 in mommy and me lessons. The regular lessons I think start at 4.
