Swim lessons begin again

After several rounds of lessons at the YMCA and no progression for Breck, we decided to give Donna's Dolphins a try (thanks to a Groupon). He already did more in one day than probably a year at the Y. Today was his evaluation to see which level group he'll be in. He'll be starting at the basic, but I think he'll progress much quicker as they really push them. Today he practiced putting his whole face in and making bubbles to a count of 5 and streamlining while making bubbles and being propelled by the teacher. They also worked on floating on his back, which he is still too nervous to relax into. I thought he was going to say he hated it because she was really pushing his head under water a lot during bubble time, but he was proud of how hard he worked. Plus he got to ride in the boat when he was done and got a gum ball and his own goggles - amazing what a gum ball will do for you. He'll start lessons on Tuesdays starting in March. I hope to get him swimming on his own by summer - at least to the point where he can turn over and float if need be and get himself to the side of the pool.
