Here's what we've been up to. Part one.
We did swimming lessons this year. We went for the shotgun approach. One week, straight into the pool, first day "swim-to-me", and it worked great. Ava really wanted to learn to swim, which was the main reason we did it. That, and my never ending fear of my children falling into a body water (including our bathtub) and NOT-KNOWING-HOW-TO-SWIM. So, really our goals were for her to enjoy her first experience in the water and for her to be able to rescue herself from the water should she need to. Goal accomplished (video to come soon).

This is completely awesome! GREAT JOB, Ava! :) (I have that same terrible fear with the kids and water, by the way.) I can't wait until both of the kids know how to swim. I think Brenna will beat Ryan. Ryan has a complete fear of the water...we missed the "no fear" window for him. Brenna will begin swimming lessons when she starts school this fall. They teach the children how to swim as part of the school curriculum here. Yeah!
