I have been doing public swim lessons since Stockton was 9 months old. Ever since, everyone of my children have done swim lessons every year. I go through the whole wait in line for hours to get them signed up. Then put them in a class for 1/2 hour with 5 other kids. They just never seemed to improve. Kennedie is a natural swimmer so I don't worry about her but the boys........ We had two near drowning accidents with Weston last year. That was the final straw. I finally signed him up for the private swim lessons at the Legacy Center. I don't have great ideas very often but this was brilliant. Okay I can't take all the credit, Lisa and I worked together. I am not kidding, after the first lesson it was night and day different. Weston had improved so much, it was like he was a different kid. I could have cried I was so happy. This summer has been great! He no longer even has to wear a life jacket. He jumps off the diving board in the six foot section and swims to me without any problems. 
Aniston and Kate had as much fun as the boys. Aniston kept sticking her feet in the water and making the life guard a little anxious. I want to sign her up as soon as possible.
By the end of the lessons the boys were swimming like fish! I couldn't believe it. I could be on an ad for the Legacy Center. I sound like a commercial!

What a relief that must be! I only WISH Allison was there to take the lessons. She's finally getting really into swimming and seriously, it's worth a lot of money to not have the constant fear of your child drowning!
Oh yeah!! it is so nice when you don't have to worry about them quite as much. And I have a feeling Bart wouldn't be thrilled to jump in and save him! Way to go Weston, big high five! I read your comment about running into colby. Thanks so much I know as parents we always think we have great kids but I really do have to admit he is such a sweetheart and such a blessing in our home. I hope someday he realizes just how much I love him and how proud I am of him. But thanks for passing it along I always wonder as a mom if anything I say sticks! haha
I think I need to put Drew into private swim lessons. Just in the last couple of weeks he is finally not so terrified of the water.
Cute! Now get blogging on Bear Lake - we can have a competition on whose is better... exept that I never take good pictures so you win. :). It was a great weekend - I had fun with you!
I know the feeling. Mitchell and Kade took swimming lessons this year also from a Fabulous lady and they are soo good. It does a mothers heart good to know their is nothing wrong with their child and to know that they are safe in the pool or around water is wonderful! What handsome boys you have, they keep getting cuter everytime I see pictures!
