pool time fun

The boys have been taking swimming lessons at the city pool and their confidence has grown a lot after only 2 lessons.
Ben is doing well, just sitting on the edge. He let one of the life guards take him in the pool but he cried when she did.
Noah is being bribed with a scuba set if he gets in the pool without me having to force him and he has to learn how to swim at least a little by the end. He did great today. He got in the water with a kick board and kicked around with the life guard holding him.
Jakob stayed in the pool the whole time. There were a few boys that were a little older than him last week and they sort of took over the lesson so there was some chaos that he didn't like. Today was a lot better because those older boys weren't there so he got more attention. He learned how to do a frog kick and he's getting more confidence in going under the water.
I decided to help Ben get a little more confidence with the water and bought a small pool for them to play in. He's playing in the water, but he hasn't gotten in yet!
