Ben standing by his Dragon Slide by the kiddie pool.
Ben with his hippie swimming instructor Dylan. At first we were worried that Ben might be too afraid of the water but Dylan, who has an awesome personality, has helped Ben feel safe and he looks forward to every lesson.
Ben, along with his fellow Polliwogs, listen intently to instructions...I hope.
Ben being Ben.
For the past month Ben has been attending swimming lessons at the YMCA that Calie lifeguards at. I haven't been able to attend because of my class schedule but from what it sounds like Ben is really advancing. He can now jump into the pool, put his face in the water, hold his breath, and kick his legs. This should come in handy when I wash his hair during bath time.
