Swimmin Seth

Since Zac and Seth have been back, we've been working more intensely on improving Seth's swimming. He's taken three private instructor lessons this month with fantastic results.

While we were in Texas, Seth discovered the magic of swimming goggles. I guess the eye-opening part of swimming underwater has been part of his hesitation. At Mike Avery's pool, he slapped on a pair of goggles and saw a whole new world. So we ran quickly to the store after we got back home and bought him some.

Three sessions later, our boy who previously was loathe to stick his head underwater was going off the diving board with a noodle under his arms. He still needs to work on the mechanics of breathing, but he can actually submerge and ambulate now. The next Micheal Phelps (minus the bong).
