Swim Class

Checking things out at the pool

Excited to go in, but has some residue from breakfast still on face

Chillin' before class

For the past two weeks, Cruz and I have taken a mom and tot swim class at Dimple Dell Recreation Center. We go on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 10:30-11:00. It seems short, but Cruz is cold and ready to get out by the time 11:00 rolls around. We lucked out and only one other mom and tot showed up. We worked on kicking Cruz's legs and on Thursday he actually went under the water. He did great, not even a cry. When he came out of the water the first time those big blue eyes just blinked a lot and he got this look on his face that he knew he did something we should be proud of. I took him under one more time and he wasn't as happy the second time, but he still did just fine.

Shawn actually took an hour off of work last Tuesday to take Cruz to the class because I was working. Unfortunately, the temperature in the pool dropped too low and they cancelled class. Shawn was really bummed!

We are going to continue taking this class. I like it because the teacher goes over some basic swimming moves and then we work with the babies on how to get out of the pool. I don't know if Cruz is catching on to it yet, but I like the idea that hopefully early on, he will know how to get himself out of a pool if he were ever to fall in.
