Swim lessons

Today was Miles' first swim lesson. I have to admit that I signed us up for swim lessons more for myself than for him because I love to be in the water, but I also think he enjoys being in the water too and will have a blast getting to spend at least 30 minutes a day in the pool for the next two weeks. Today we (the parents) learned how to safely get in and out of the water with a baby, how to hold our babies three different ways while in the water, how to dunk them, and how to teach them how to jump off the side of the pool (a little bit over Miles' head for sure). The babies learned how to blow bubbles in the water and how to kick their feet while lying on their backs (these concepts are also above Miles' head for now). Miles wasn't a fan of lying on his back or being dunked, but he really enjoyed playing with the rubber ducky the instructor gave him to play with!

Half of his class

Not a fan of being on his back (in or out of the water for that matter)

All done with class #1



In this video you can hear his squeal.
He does this every time he is excited about something!
