Li'l Swimmers

Swim lessons were a high priority for this spring. In three sessions, Megan went from being a little timid about getting her face wet to being able to jump off the diving board and swimming to the side completely by herself as she climbed the ranks from Pike to Eel to Ray.
Liam...well, Liam is very cute. He likes to splash and play but he hasn't been able to graduate from the Pike class because he won't willingly put his face in the water. In fact, when the teacher told him he had to go under enough to get his forehead wet, he grabbed the side of the pool and leaned backwards till his forehead was under but his face was still high an dry. Hey, he did do what he was told and you've got to give him points for cleverness!
Hopefully, a summer of splashing is all he needs to get over his fear.
