This summer, Tavish took his first swimming lesson since he was 6 months old. It was at our local outdoor swimming pool and involved a 30 minute lesson every week day for 2 weeks. The pool was lovely, although the water temperature was ... well, frigid. Tavish braved it as long as his purple lips and shivers allowed him on the first day. He was the last kid left in the pool before he too admitted frozen defeat. He stuck with it though, every day the water seemed a little warmer and every day he swam a little bit better...

He's naturally comfortable in the water and probably has strong genetics for swimming too (brag, brag), but it was time for a formal lesson from someone other than Mommy. It worked, his first time in swimming lessons and he completed the level and is moving onto the highest level for his age!
