Cody's Swim Classes 2009

Tonight was the last night of swim classes for this year. We are all pretty glad that they are over. It wouldn't have been that bad if the water wasn't so darn cold. We were not aware that they do not heat the pool at all and most people try to get into the July sessions of classes when the pool has warmed up a bit. We'll know for next year. It usually took a lot of coaxing to get Cody into the pool at the beginning of every class, once he just took off running, that was fun. He usually ended up having fun though. He did pretty good in the class and learned his front stroke and kicking. I think he gained the confidence to be able to do lessons by himself next year. They have had the kids go off the diving board a couple of times but last time Cody tried two times and just couldn't do it but tonight he was so super brave and showed us all that he

could do it! He was pretty nervous and told the teacher "Um, I don't want to go under the water, Ok!?"

Getting lowered in, you didn't expect him to jump did you? Baby steps.


He was so excited that he did it! The teacher asked him if he wanted to do it again and he quickly said "No Thanks" We were very proud of him for being so brave.
We had told him that if he did good in Swim lessons this year that we would take him to The Great Wolf Lodge (it's a hotel with a huge water park inside it). On the way home he asked when we were going so I guess we better get that trip in the works!
