Everyone knows that Josh is one of the first kids to canon ball into the pool full of splashes when we get there, but Kyle has a different love for the water... He takes the time to learn the little details and explore the wonder under water. The beginning of this summer he would spend all his time putting his head underwater, practiced kicking and somehow learned to maneuver his little body where he wanted to go. When I would play with him, he had a certain calmness to him. He essentially taught himself how to swim! But all this determination called for a few private swim lessons to get the skills nailed down properly.
Can't have a lesson without 'gloggles'! He loved his lessons!
The first day he was jumping in and swimming to Ms. Jordan!
By the last lesson, she had him swimming freestyle... I didn't bring my camera that day, but it was pretty cute to see a 4 year old doing freestyle!
The lifeguard giving the lessons is actually the swim team coach and she told us that he has some great potiental at being a good swimmer... She thinks he is an amazing swimmer for only being 4! Our whole family has had fun watching the swimming races on the Olympics, who knows maybe we have a future Phelps or Locte on our hands ;).
