The only difficult thing is that LOML and I are not supposed to be there when she is teaching them (there are other people we know and trust there, she just doesn't want the parents distracting the children) --- so we have to rely on the wonderful feedback our friends are giving us about how well they are doing!<BR/><BR/>Oh well, in a week we'll go to the pool and they can demonstrate everything that they have learned:-)<BR/><BR/>N.BreadBoxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14551973313066578118noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10605460.post-89913119638710855632007-07-07T10:51:00.000-04:002007-07-07T10:51:00.000-04:00Oh swimming lessons. those were the days.

An overactive imagination. So I was trying to show him that it wasn't scary at all. Definitely better to have kids not afraid of something, especially something that has the potential to be dangerous. Oh, and I succeeded. He stepped up over the grate.Butterfly Wifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15795994131755311131noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10605460.post-25980064786285194632007-07-06T23:33:00.000-04:002007-07-06T23:33:00.000-04:00You've reminded me why I loved being a swim instru...You've reminded me why I loved being a swim instructor all those years ago. I loved being there to witness the eureka moments, to watch "my" kids blossom from fearful wall-clingers to confident swimmers who babbled with me every time they saw me.<BR/><BR/>I also loved working with the kids who didn't become Olympians overnight. There was something amazing about being a part of each of these kids' lives...it prepared me for everything that's happened since: career, marriage, parenthood...carmilevyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00360045114379957605noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10605460.post-62266813853521914452007-07-06T17:34:00.000-04:002007-07-06T17:34:00.000-04:00I love the photo montage of Hannah learning to swi...I love the photo montage of Hannah learning to swim....<BR/><BR/>It's such a pleasure to watch children learn skills day by day and swimming is such an important thing to learn.<BR/><BR/>Well done, Hannah!!<BR/><BR/>Here's hoping Scotty takes the plunge soon so he and his sister can play in the pool together...<BR/><BR/>Michele sent me to read more about your lovely family.<BR/><BR/>cqcraziequeenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15098227916486173799noreply@blogger.com
