Swimming Lessons

After a 4 month waiting list, and a couple of failed sign-up attempts in the States, my kids are in their first swimming class. They are in the red group at the Hydro, which has a pretty rigorous swimming scheme. Our kids are just in the beginners of course, and mostly use a water noodle to hold on to while practicing kicks, strokes, and even some breathing. They love it. The Hydro is a camera free zone, so these pics are contraband I took in the locker room. You just have to imagine Hilde grinning widely anytime she completes a task and Enoch drifting off into his own world and section of the pool, whenever the teacher turns her back. TOO CUTE.
Enoch is pre-swim, Hilde is post-swim (she had already ripped her swim cap off).

Your post reminded me of my own first swim lessons, and I realized how incredible these blog posts will be for Hilde and Enoch to look back on when they grow up. I'm sure they will bring back many fond memories!

That was the real genesis of doing the blog. I don't do scrapbooks, we don't print out pictures as much as we should, and so we needed some way to capture the good stuff.
