I told him it also would be great if he learned how to jump off the side on his own, because I knew he was working towards that yesterday. And sure enough, he did jump off the side on his own today! He even said his favorite part about his lesson today was jumping in off the side.
So, here are the videos I took of him floating on his back, swimming to the side, and jumping off the side! We are so proud of the progress he's making. Miss Melanie, his teacher, said there wasn't any whining or crying in today's lesson, so he even got a special sticker treat at the end of his lesson. I am encouraged that he is already showing more confidence only after the third lesson. Thanks Miss Melanie!
Wow Ethan is such a brave little swimmer! I can't wait for him to come to Baltimore and show us how he can swim in Mike's parents' pool! I'll have to give him a call in the next couple days to tell him how proud I am of him!
