They both have loved it and have really progressed quite a bit in just two months! We decided to do it for the months of June and July, but decided to take a break for August, since we figured we could just take the skills they learned and practice on our own. With work schedules getting crazy, and with both of them not really listening to their coaches very well towards the end, it didn't make sense to enroll for August.
Ava learned how to perfect her freestyle a little more; she learned the backstroke; she learned seated dives; and has gained tremendous strength in her swimming. She has truly become a little fish and very comfortable in the water.
Alex was quite hesitant at first about getting his head wet; he hates having water in his eyes and getting his ears wet. Although, over the course of the two months he has grown quite used to going under water, blows bubbles, has figured out how to kick, tries to climb out of the pool (elbow-elbow-knee-knee), and is feeling a lot more at ease in the pool. I have no doubt that by next summer he will be swimming like Ava!
