At the end of the summer swim class, Hudson's teacher, Lisa told us Hudson was the happiest water-baby she'd ever had in any of her classes. We really liked Lisa and wanted to continue with her in the Fall, but she wasn't available as she is now the Deck Manager at the pool. So when we showed up for class today she was there to greet us and told us how delighted she was to see Hudson continuing his lessons.
We've heard stories recently of friends who started swim class with their child early but didn't continue with it. Then when they tried to return to swim lessons some time later their child had become afraid of the water. It is really important to us that Hudson learn how to swim, so we have committed to sticking with the swim lessons for the duration. Thankfully he loves it!
Hudson was super excited when we told him he was going swimming this morning and promptly walked into his room, opened up his chest of drawers, pulled out his swim trunks and brought them to us, complete with a loud, happy enthusiastic sigh...and he was equally as happy to see the pool this morning when we arrived at Emler Swim School. He smiled from ear to ear and could hardly wait to get in the water. He did really well in class today and went under water for 6 seconds; his goal is to get up to about 10 seconds. We know he can do it, Hudson is a great little swimmer!
