Float to Stroke

I was at the dry cleaners dropping off some things and came across a flier advertising Private Swimming lessons. I'm so glad I called!! Her name is Lisa. She has been teaching the "Float to Stroke" method for 12 years. A method that you teach to babies and up!

Having 5 children and taking them to the pool is quite a challenge. I really need to make sure that they are WATER safe!! These swimming lessons are more survival than anything. Being able to jump in the water - "find your float" and be able to get to the edge of the pool.

Luke is the one that is the most afraid. He is improving--less crying and more trusting in himself. We started the class on Monday and it goes for 3 weeks. I love that there is the ONE ON ONE attention. I'm excited to see the progress from now till the 7th of August!!

Since Cody can swim they do other things with him--dive for rings, jump off the diving board and "find your float". He's doing great! And LOVES it!!

Here is Steven floating!! Making "airplane arms" He was even able to float on his own!! He was so proud of himself!!

Here's Kyle floating too!! He's so relaxed in the water and is able to "find his float" VERY IMPRESSED with this program!!! And Lisa is so great!

Jack is a bit scared--not of the water but of the situation - and he can also "find his float". She also says that by the end of the classes the babies will retain about 90% of what they learn.

Now there will be less stress when going to the pool, knowing that all 5 are water safe!!
