Since the boys are off this week, I signed them up for a one-week lesson at the cabana club which started today. We did not have big expectation of these classes but just wanted the boys to have more exposure to swimming. The boys did not seem to mind the idea of having swimming lessons again. Stuart had to work today, so the grandparents and I walked the boys over before their class time. The communication from the cabana club has not been very good, so we did not know what to expect. Once we walked in, I saw a roster on the window. I learned the name of the instructor and that the boys are two of the three kids in this beginning lesson. In the pool, there were several small groups of lessons going on at the same time. They were different levels of skills and all the instruction seemed quite professional. After the preceding class ended, the boys and I walked up to the instructor to introduce them and the boys just walked down the steps as instructed without hesitation. The third person never showed up, so it was a class for just the two of them today.
The instructor talked with the boys. I could hear both of them sometimes expressed that they could not or did not want to do something, but the instructor nicely persuaded them and they ended up following his lead. He had them putting their faces in the water and trying to blow bubbles. He took them out to the middle of pool with a board and had them kick their legs. Overall the boys looked more comfortable in the water just in this 30 minutes. We will see how they will do after this week of lessons.
