Samuel's first swim lesson



It is difficult to see but Samuel is wearing a suit.

Samuel had his first swimming lesson on Saturday morning.  The most difficult part of the day was getting Julia out of bed and to the pool by 0900 on a Saturday.

Samuel seemed a bit reluctant at his first introduction to the water.  Our only concern was that he seemed a bit cold, shivering in the beginning but as he warmed up, his enthusiasm grew. The only nervous moments came the two times he happened to swallow water.  Then he cried and fussed for a few minutes.  As you can see from the pictures we have a ways to go before he learns to kick.  He kept his feet in the fetal position most of the morning but it was only his first exposure.

He has classes every Saturday morning until June 13th.  So if you come for a  visit between now and June you can see Samuel in the pool
