swimming lessons

The boys have had swim lessons this week. This is our 4th summer with Mrs. Stephanie! She is just the best, with a very firm but loving attitude. She knows just how to push the kids to get a bit more out of them. She started teaching during her summers off from Ball State. Thankfully, after graduating this past Dec., she decided to come back and keep teaching swim during her summers off from being an elementary teacher at the deaf school in Indianapolis. We are oh-so grateful that she is willing to drive 45 minutes back to Fishers every morning to teach the lessons in her parents pool!


Luke has been working all week on the breast stroke. . .and has progressed really well--hard to put it all together, but I am impressed. Here he is working on his arms/breathing .
Cole is working on diving. . . he and Grant also worked on freestyle and back stroke.
The reward after each individual lesson is a few good jumps off the diving board. . .so fun, since our neighborhood pool does not have one.


While each brother took their turn at their lesson, the others played with the "Eliminator Waterguns." They seemed to be addictive. . .just can't stop squirting 'em--at each other or at Stephanie's cat!
