The boys are taking two weeks of swimming lessons to start the summer. Max finally agreed to a class and is Beginner A. Kyle has done it before and is now considered Advanced Beginner. They are both doing a great job!

Max has finally submerged himself fully underwater . . . several times. He is working on blowing bubbles, kicking, and the back float. Until last year he was terrified of the water. Last year he went in the water but wouldn't try to do much. This year he decided he was finally ready to do more. He's done a great job doing whatever they've asked of him.

Kyle is learning freestyle frontstroke and backstroke. He has learned how to jump and recover. He's practiced both the front and back float. He is also working on treading water and the survival float. So far he can swim backstroke 10m and tread water for 30 seconds. He's an expert at all float styles as well. The only thing he struggles with is his freestyle fronstroke. Side breathing is challenging for him so he's working on making it 10m by the time classes end. He's made a lot of progress overall though and is doing great!
