Our swimmer boy!

We enrolled David in swimming lessons for the first time this summer at the university pool complex. We have been swimming there since David was a year old, so he is pretty familiar with the water. But, he has always been a bit scared of letting go of us and actually swimming. He was starting to get the hand of letting go and trying to swim when we went on our cruise back in April. Well, now he was so ready to swim. This class was 45 minutes long, 4 days a week, for 2 weeks. He just loved it! He had no fears whatsoever in the water. He did all that the instructors asked of him. He started learning the freestyle stroke, he learned how to swim to the bottom of the pool to retrieve things, and he learned how to float. I think he spent more time underwater than above! He was the best student in the class. He should move up to the level 2 class in July. We are so proud of him!
This is his swim instructor, by the way.
