I posted about this on my FB page but I thought I’d blog our time in the pool as well. We were looking for an activity for Sunday morning as normally we have swim lessons but those ended last week. We thought we may as well take advantage of more pool time so we went over to the Kanata Wave Pool for family swim. We ended swim lessons on such a high and we don’t want to take any steps backwards. All last year we had such a hard time getting Myles to not be afraid of the water. I mean, he would go in and swim but he just seemed hesitant. He failed the same swim level, twice, and we were starting to worry. Knowing we’re putting a pool in our backyard in the near future means we need our kids to feel comfortable in and around the water.
We were unhappy with the city swim program so we put him in a new class at the gym my husband is apart of and we put him up a level and talk about huge improvement. I mean, out of nowhere things just turned around. No more timidness, no more hesitating, just a confident kid who loves swimming. He passed with flying colours! His instructor was so impressed with how brave he was and by the end he was swimming 3-5 meters on his own!!! To say we are proud of him is a huge understatement, he’s completely blown us away with his perseverance!
Here are a few shots of our time in the pool over the weekend 🙂
