Wade is a swimming fool!
It started with some group lessons back in March. At that point he refused to wear his flotation "backpack" and would climb out of the pool during the lesson. We got kicked out and had to find a smaller class that could handle his "independence". Eventually over the 10 week class he learned to love his backpack and quickly got better and better.
It's also helped that Poppa and Dede have had their pool heated since April and we've spent A LOT of time there swimming. Now lovely friends, family, or sitters have kept him busy at the pool at least once (and sometimes twice) a day.
He's down to 2 out of 4 floats on his back pack and is so close to being able swim on his own. He kicks and swims, comes up for air....but forgets to open his mouth and breath. Oh so close!
He's finally conquered his fear of the big diving board at Atlanta Country Club and now won't do anything else!
