Our kids don't swim. Not good. So, we signed the boys up for swimming lessons nearly 4 weeks ago now. We are hitting it hard, taking lessons 4 days a week. They could all do a "bob", the only requirement for level 2 in their age groups, so they all started in level 2 swimming lessons. Ryan quit after the first 20 minutes on day 1. Day 2, he only lasted 7 minutes before he quit. It was all "too scary" and "too hard". So, I dropped him down to level one. Should have been really comfortable for him, but the first thing he saw was another level 1 classmate completely submerse himself and swim from point A to point B underwater. Ryan thought he was required to do the same, so cried and cried all over again. We'll give it a year before we try again. Kyle didn't do so well, so he's re-taking level 2 again right now. At least he's having a good time, though. Braden moved on to level 3, and he's actually progressing. Ryan came home with pink eye the first week of lessons, and he has graciously shared it now with both brothers. Nice...

Oh, swim lessons are so fun! And so is pink eye, lots of hand sanitizer and eye drops! Fun, fun!
Maybe next year. See you in a week. I'm starting to panic because I don't know how I'm gonna make it to the top! Lots of prayers.
That is one scary dude holding kyle! That's probably why he didn't like the lessons. I don't blame him.
