Swim Lessons

"Look at those kids mom, they are really using their ice cream scoopers!" Carter said to us while we were watching the olympic swimming trials. And those "kids" were swimmers like Michael Phelps! He knows so much of the swimming lingo now because he has been taking swim lessons for a few weeks now. If I have learned anything with Carter it is that he will do it WHEN he is ready. He loves swim lessons, doesn't fight them and does what he needs to do to get his lollipop! He trusts our swim teacher (the same one Brooklyn had) and I love how she won't break that trust and do anything until he is ready because that is how Carter works. Just like with Brooklyn, it will click and next thing you know he will take off. In the meantime he is having fun jumping in, doing superman dives off the step, kicking and scooping and searching for turtles, but he is gripping on too to make sure you aren't about to let go of him!

Ms. Kim is awesome with him and we all enjoy having her here. The girls asked her if she would come back and teach them the REAL strokes and how to dive in like a swim race and flip turns. Now mommy teaches them but I am not a "real swim" coach like Ms. Kim is so I guess I don't really officially know what I am talking about. They want to be sure they have the real deal. Maybe I could help them with "swim dancing" or something like that! They start stroke camp right here next week and are counting down the days and just praying that all the rain stops so they can swim.
