This is Ethan's second summer in survival swimming through ISR. Last summer he learned basic floating and rolling, and so far this summer he has learned how to reach for the edge, and swim towards his teacher Ms. Holly on his belly. Our lessons are at 8 am for 10 minutes each day. Here he is on his 5th lesson and his first day without crying! If you look closely you will see that I got to get in the water with him! That calmed Ethan down and he realized that swimming is actually fun! Holly was able to snap these great underwater pictures of Ethan as he happily swam back and forth between the two of us. Next, Ethan will learn how to swim and flip over onto his back to float. He tried that today and he wasn't a big fan of floating, I am sure he will feel more comfortable with practice! Just no practicing in the bathtub though...that's because the babies learn to feel the bottom of the tub with their little butt and they struggle to maintain a good float in the pool!
