Swim Lessons!

We are loving going to the pool on the Air Force base.  It's about a 20 minute drive to get there, but it's all highway and the pool is free to get in.  There are 2 slides, diving boards and a great kiddie pool for the littles.  We went several times when my mom was visiting and I inquired about private swim lessons.  They called me a few days ago and we started today.  Ashton and Quintin did their assessment together and Thea and Landon did theirs together.  We decided that Q and A could take lessons together and so could T and L.  She did say that pretty soon Q would need his own lessons since he's older and will "take off" when he gets his stroke technique down. 
Thea cracked me up.  The teacher was having them kick with a kick board out and back from the edge of the pool.  The teacher was holding the kick board and Thea said, "I can swim back by myself from here!"  The teacher said, "OK" and let her kick board go.  Thea threw the kick board to the side and swam back by herself!  LOL.  She doggy paddles, but can stay above the water.  She taught herself to do that since mama was taking too long to teach her to swim.  Sure wish I could find my camera charger and take/post pictures.
