Winter swimming

Both Luke and Mia continue to swim at AVAC through the winter.  They are doing so well and both seem to really enjoy their lessons.  This particular week I had an appointment to get to right after swimming, so Day volunteered to swim with Mia so that I could dash off right after the lessons.  So, for once, I had an opportunity to get some pictures of our swimmers.

Mia is in a 2-3 year old parent/child class.  She is easily one of the most comfortable toddlers in the water, and is most certainly the most social. 

Mia's teacher this time is Miss Devin, who has worked a miracle with Mia's backfloat.  She can just about do it without any support!

Luke's class starts 15 minutes after Mia's, so he sits poolside and waits for his turn (with his friend from school, Vidyut, who has class at the same time as Luke and also has a little brother in Mia's class).

Luke is a "Sea Turtle" right now and is working on coordinating arm strokes with nice strong kicks.

Luke's teacher is Mr. Carl, who is great.  There are only two kids in Luke's class ... both boys have July birthdays and are named Luke.  Luke and Luke think that this is super awesome!
