swim lessons

June started with swimming lessons, which are one of my favorite parts of the summer.  Both kids did fabulous in the water, and are doing even better now.  Chris was in level 1, and can swim across the pool by himself.  We're working with him on his strokes and kicks, but he can swim independently.  Naomi had her first year in the toddler class - without me in the water with her.  She had such a great time playing the games and practicing floating, kicking, and scooping the water.  Since lessons, she has started swimming short distances under water.  We're pretty impressed with her lack of fear - it also means we have to watch her pretty close!
