A Fish named Trouble

A few months ago we signed Trouble up for swim lessons. They bumped him from the pre-school level to the real deal. He passed with flying colors and in the next session he'll do level 2 even though he's not old enough. We haven't signed him up the last two months because of our crazy schedules, but we hope to get him back into it this Spring. He has shown a great confidence in water, mostly due to him having these lessons.

Can you spot Trouble in this picture? He told Travis, "I have some bad news. I'm the only boy in class." He's also the littlest! Kickin' away

Back Float

Back Paddle

Dumbbell Floaters to help the kids kick to the other side of the pool

Fireman Pole to get use to being in the deep end. The kids grab on and go underwater.

Jumping off the diving board

oohh so cold...

Great jump!

We had him in lessons two summers ago, but he was so cold and miserable that I didn't think he ever want to go again. So he's really surprised us! The one thing he'd get into trouble for is letting go of the side and going underwater...and scaring his instructor in the process. That is Trouble for you!!
