Swimming Lessons

On Monday, the kids started swimming lessons. Kaymin is in level 3 and Deilen and Kameni are in Preschool B at the Roy Complex. In order to take them alone (instead of the mom and tot class) you have to be 4. Deilen and Kameni have waited a long time for this. When they turned 4, both of them told they were big enough to take swimming lessons now. Well, they were right. Deilen and Kameni's class starts 30 minutes after Kaymin's class starts so they had to wait. Deilen was so upset that when I tried taking their picture, he just kept telling me that he was going to keep hitting himself in the head until it was his turn. Since Deilen and Kameni are not afraid of the water, I put them in Preschool B, which means they immediately begin going underwater and working on their floats. By Tuesday, Deilen was able to do his front and back float without help. Kameni on the other hand, sat in the bleachers by me because she started throwing up again the night before. On Wednesday, they canceled class because someone threw up in the pool. It wasn't my kids. But today, Kameni was able to do her floats by herself. I am so proud of them. After class the lady that runs the place came up to me and told me to watch out for Deilen because she can tell he will be an excellent swimmer. I am just so shocked at how well he is doing because last year he was still a little gun shy of the water. Kaymin is doing excellent in her class too! She really wants to pass this class because on level 4 they use goggles and swim only in the deep part, going off of the diving boards, and diving in the water. I'm sure she will pass. The girl loves to swim. Now if the weather will cooperate the kids will be able to swim. This 60-70 degree, rainy weather we've been having has been wonderful, but it is making the kids bawl to swim.
