Swimming Will

Sometimes I need a break from reality to just enjoy this little boy!

Will has taken swim lessons for months & we just had our last lesson before the summer. (We're taking off the summer due to the fact that we swim daily together in the summer & also due to the fact that our life is in sort of upheaval right now & I can't commit to being anywhere for any period of time!)

According to his report card this week, Will can (at age 2 & 8 months):

monkey crawl around the pool & know safety exits

float face down 8 seconds

safety float 30 seconds (with some help)

Backstroke 5 feet

Freestyle kick & swim 5 feet

Swim underwater to dive for rings (his teacher likes to say in Will's case "an armful is better than a handful" as sometimes he comes up with rings up both arms & a leg or two!)

Can Roll on his back to breathe for freestyle with some help

Can Swim breaststroke 5-7 feet

Can jump & swim back to wall for safety

Can do butterfly stroke arms
