Miranda's Swim Class 2018

Miranda took a Daddy-and-me swim class 2 years ago but hated every minute of it, so we gave her a year off to forget, and signed her up for a different place this year. One of the things she didn't like about the other class was that it was outdoors and very cold even in July. Safety Swim is very warm. The first class was great!

Miranda is wearing a bathing suit Grandma got her!

Meeting her instructor

Learning how to kick

Learning arm strokes

Practicing getting in and out of the pool

Practicing floating

She refused to swim unsupported with floaties. Can't win them all!

Yes, this is the summer of pool parties. Lots of fun at Nolan's though!

James's Swim Class Part II 2017

Since James has been invited to a lot of pool parties, we got him some additional swimming lessons so he'd be up to a solid not-drowning level. He loved the classes so much and his swimming is pretty good now!

James's Swim Class 2017

James's favorite sport is swimming currently. He's was very excited to start again this summer. Session 1 was July 3-14, but he's still not all the way there so we're looking into signing him up for more classes.

July 3- First day of swim class!
