Swim lessons

The kids both took swim lessons a couple of weeks ago, and even though Rory has taken them several times over the past couple of summers, this was Sydney's first time. She really liked it. Even though she was the youngest in the class(one day past 3 when she started), she really learned a lot. She has always loved the water and the pool, but I have noticed she has really gotten brave in the water. She had a difficult time staying on the steps of the pool when her teacher was with another child, and would start swimming out into the deeper water. Myself or her teacher would have to tell her to get back on the steps about every 2 minutes.
Rory has really gotten much better at swimming and getting around in the water this year. He swims all over the place, and I have a lot of confidence in his swimming capabilities. His favorite thing is just playing, so he loves jumping off the side of pools, off of rocks, diving boards, going down slides...you name it. His favorite place is Legoland water park and he LOVES going down the big water slides.
