This has been a LONG time coming! Last year (?) we painstakingly took Ethan to this guy's home pool right behind us called "Swim to Andy". It was an expensive and intensive 10 day program for 10 minutes each day. It taught survival skills like if you fall in, how to get to the side. How to walk "hand over hand" to help get yourself out and the true basics of swimming. He hated it, but did great. That year in Palm Desert over Memorial Day he was swimming pretty darn good. But we didn't go enough to the pool throughout the summer and he kind of lost it. He got dependent on floaties and just didn't care.
We've been doing some early swimming this year and this afternoon it just kind of clicked for him and now he's doing awesome! I love watching him learn new things!
