Swimming lessons

This was our third summer of swimming lessons with Bonnie Sue, and we were SO impressed with both boys' progress this year. For Asher's first year, he did great and Carter built upon what he's learned in the past and has gone all summer with no puddle jumper! We did semi-private lessons this year...Carter & Evan Goering swam together and Asher & Ellie Goering swam together. It worked out perfectly and this very large mommy was thrilled to have the 7:00 & 7:30pm time slots, which meant much cooler evenings.

Asher working on his back float and blowing bubbles.

 The big boys, Evan & Carter, waiting for their turn to swim.

 Asher jumping off the side with much enthusiasm...is anyone surprised?!?
 Learning to climb out all by himself...so important!
 And of course he had to jump off the diving board! Bonnie Sue said Asher was her youngest student to want to do this...again, not surprised! Such a daredevil.

Carter & Evan swimming the length of the pool. We were discussing how when the big boys were in the water, both with their goggles on, we often had to double-take to see which boy was which--they looked so much alike!
 Ellie & Asher watching movies after their lesson.
 Carter learning the backstroke.
 Diving board time--the most anticipated part of lessons!
 Cannon ball series...


 Big splash!
