Swimming

Carter and Rylan start swim lessons today as well as swim team (this week is evaluations).  I signed Rylan up for swim team as well and am really hoping that swim lessons will help him be able to swim the length of the pool by the end of the week (fingers crossed!!!).

I really wanted to see where he was so we went to the indoor pool at the Franklin Rec Center on Thursday and Friday.  We only stayed about 45 minutes each day since it was freezing and everyone started turning blue but it was enough to get Rylan comfortable again so he's not scared to death of swim lessons (Mr. Gareth is a little intense).

Plus he made it about 2/3rds of the way down the pool with an ugly freestyle.  Carter did the length in about 50 seconds the few times I timed him.  They both have a long way to go but this was their first time in the pool this year.

This little cutie LOVES the water.  He keeps trying to get away from me and swim like the big boys (he's moving his arms and legs as I hold him).  He doesn't realize what's going to happen if I let go of him and I couldn't do it when we were the only ones in the pool with the life guard staring at us!
