More Swimming Lessons


This has been an interesting arrangement, a HOT one for Hayden and I.  Blake & Brooklyn were signed up for a stroke development class through the City of Apache Junction at the Superstition Shadows Aquatic Center.  Their lesson was from 9:45-10:15am so everyone else sat and waited while they swam.  Then we rushed back down to Coach Sean's, where Preston had lessons at 10:30, then Gavin at 11:00.  A lot of sitting and waiting in the sweltering heat.  I was bummed that I never brought my regular camera to Brooklyn and Blake's lessons, but I did on the last day of Preston and Gavin's classes with Coach Sean.

Session 1 of swim lessons complete!

It was a struggle to keep this girl entertained, so we did our best...


Yay, boys!!
We've loved doing lessons through Suzy's Swim & Fitness Zone!  Gavin became a more confident swimmer and Preston can swim entirely on his own now, no floaties!  We'll definitely be back next summer!
