Swimming Lessons

While Emma is at T-ball on Wednesday nights, Evan is at swimming lessons.  He is taking level two lessons at the Stillwater Courage Center and he is participating in private lessons at the moment.  Tim is a big fan of individual attention for things like this, so we indulge in private lessons when they are still learning the basics.  Evan has a great teacher and absolutely loves them.

And... he tries real hard.  :-)   He doesn't seem to be a natural swimmer like Emma is.  Evan tends to sink a bit more and flounder around a bit, but... he tries real hard!  They are working on the front crawl for 3 strokes then he is to flip on his back and do 3 strokes, flip back to front, etc.  he struggles with the flip and often needs help getting afloat again.

But, the most important thing is that he is incredibly comfortable in the water and loves being in there. The perfect stroke will come.
