Gettin' our swim on!

We have been spending our days at the pool... We're kinda regulars at this point.  But I SWORE when I had kids of my own that we would always be swimming.  So I'm attempting to live up to my 14 year old dream.  So far so good I think.  

Ty is a fish- he has always loved the water.  He has progressively gotten better each year and with each new round of swim lessons.  I thought about swim team this year- but the thought of driving him into town every morning at 6:30 kind of put the brakes on.  I know.  I'm a total wuss.  What can I say... I still hate mornings.  Maybe next year.  

Kate is just like Ty and lives for her time in the water.  She's getting pretty good too!  Her favorite part of the morning is when they strap on life jackets and jump off the diving board.  I think if her instructor would do this all day every day- she would be a happy camper!

Ryan is... well... Ryan.  I call him my reluctant fish.  He's not ever too excited about getting into the water- but now- halfway through the summer and 4 weeks of lessons later... he's actually kinda coming around on the idea.  He FINALLY passed his level 3 test (I seriously thought we were gonna be lifers there) and seems a little pumped about the new challenge in the level 4 class.  Maybe that was the secret... he was bored?  With Ry... who knows.  I'm just happy he's happy.
