A couple weeks ago Connor had his first swim lesson!
Ever since Connor was an infant, he had a pretty big fear of the pool. He would cling on to whoever was bringing him into the water and scream his head off.
Last summer, he was a little more relaxed in the pool but still pretty scared. I never forced him into the pool, just let him do what he was comfortable with.
I thought his fear of the pool would get better as he got older but it really hasn’t.
I have no idea how to even begin teaching kids how to swim so we just went right to the professionals.
I was really curious to see how he would do with a stranger taking him into the water. I was surprised and totally relieved to see him excited to be in the pool. He is still pretty scared and not totally relaxed in the water yet, but he is already definitely improving!
Proud Mommy!
