More Water babies!

For the last session of swimming lessons, The Captain wanted to do diving class.  What a turn around from last year, when he was scared to jump off!  The only diving classes were in the morning, so that meant swimming classes got kicked over to me.  We managed to get up and be at the pool by 8 in the morning, which meant it was only 92 degrees outside, instead of 127.  The early bird doesn't get fried in Texas.

The Captain loved his lessons.  He was good at taking direction and practicing and he got pretty good by the end.  We will definitely do diving class next year.
Front fall in


 Approach and jump.

Front dive.
 He can do a back fall in from the board, too.  But the awesome picture I took got deleted from my phone, sorry. But here's a video.

And here's Miss Joy swimming like a fish.  She's the one entirely under water. She was super happy that she got to have class in her favorite pool.  She pretty much spent the entire class wiggling around under there.  The Captain taught her everything he learned, so she's started to backstroke.  Her teachers kept asking me when she turns 5 so she could start official swim classes.  I had to tell them she wasn't even 4 yet.  

No fear from this girl.

 And this is what Miss Lee and I did while the other two swam.  She's wearing her pjs and Joy's sun hat.  And holding the lid to her tupperware container full of breakfast.
