Clayton has always loved the water. We put him in the pool for the first time when he was 3 months, and it has been his favorite place to be ever since. He has taken swimming lessons for the last two years and both years we felt like it was more just for fun than actually teaching him to swim. There has been lots of blowing bubbles and kicking on the side of the pool. This year, though, he really got something out of the lessons. We were very pleased with the place where we enrolled him. They worked on swimming with "quiet arms", back finning, back floating independently, taking intermittent breaths while swimming, sit diving, kneel diving, and feet first diving. He LOVED his lessons and is a little sad that it is over. The good news is that our little fish has all summer to swim his little heart out.

He has had his eye on this snorkeling set in their little shop. He looked at it every week as soon as we got to class. I had told him that if he worked really hard, we could buy it on the last day of lessons. He was so excited that he earned his prize!
Gran & Papa D got to come to his last lesson. Clayton was thrilled to have an audience. :)

Of course, he came straight inside to put on all of his snorkel gear. I feel a new costume coming on. Scuba Steve perhaps?
