Swim Class

Both of the kids have taken swim classes through Fairfax county before, but aside from an activity to keep them busy and expend some energy, neither of them have seemed to get much out of it. So in an effort to make some more progress on the swimming front (and minimize our anxiety around the pool this summer), we decided to sign them up for individual swim classes through a friend of a friend. The difference couldn't be greater...Audrey spends most of the Ffx county class bouncing around, half-paying attention to the teacher and half to everything else going on around her, but in her first class with Miss Hannah managed to put her face in the water and take a good 4-5 strokes. Brennan obviously has a lot further to go, but seems to enjoy it and is making quite a bit of progress of his own. But they both seem to really enjoy it, and hopefully we'll have at least one swimmer by summertime. And even though Millie doesn't get to spend any time in the pool yet, she seems to have plenty of fun on the sidelines.
