Swim Lessons

Beckett took swim lessons in July at ORU. We were very pleased with the two week program. There were a ton of kids, but they had them split into much smaller groups. There were only five kids in Beckett's group. They worked him hard and wore him out! We will definitely be back next year! 

Day 1: checking things out

Daily stretches (this was his favorite part of the lesson)

Pep talk from Daddy

After his first lesson. Can you tell that he cried the whole time
(much like many of the other kids)? There's no explanation
for why he cried. The kid LOVES water. 

Floating on his back

On Day 1 of the lessons, they take them
to the end of the diving board to check it out.

On Day 2, they take their first jump off of the diving board.
He did great on the first jump, but I believe this was the
next day when he actually knew what was coming. 

The kids were all freezing every time they stepped out of the water.
He got braver every day and did great by Day 3. 

Kaki was his cheerleader for the week. She bribed him with candy after
every lesson if he jumped off the board without crying. You could tell
 that this wasn't her first rodeo because all of her tricks worked like a charm :)
