The kids finished up their two-week session in the swimming program today. They both loved it. Sophie is really close to being able to swim on her own, and Ben is doing great, too. The biggest accomplishment for them both is becoming so much more comfortable and confident in the water. They now love jumping in, going under doesn't phase them at all, and they're having a ton of fun.
I took them to the lake the other day and noticed a huge difference in both of them. Ben has always tended to keep close to shore, usually sitting in the water and playing with the sand. Now he charges right in and I have to keep reminding him not to go too deep. Sophie is the same way - she wants to be in as far as she can touch and is constantly practicing her swimming. She actually does pretty well under water, but she still has a hard time keeping her head up to breathe. She'll get there soon enough, though.
It's going to be a fun summer in the water!
