The boys just completed day one of swimming lessons. Their reactions were pretty much what I expected. Ethan learned how to swim at the Baker pool in Florida last year, but hasn't had much pool time to practice. But he was excited about lessons and jumped right in, willing to try anything that was thrown at him.
Caleb was crying before he entered the locker room. Granted, it is a little frustrating that the only way to the pool is through the locker rooms, and the boys are too old to go through the girls' side. Caleb calmed down before the lesson started, but once he realized he wouldn't be in the same class as Ethan, I think he started feeling very apprehensive. There were lots of tears, but he did do everything asked of him, though with much hesitation, much fear, and many tears. Poor kid. His teacher said it's what's to be expected for a first-timer, and she was pleased that he still cooperated (sort of). I'm hoping tomorrow will be better. I AM happy with the student-teacher ratio. Caleb is with one other little girl. Ethan is the only one with his teacher. :)
