June Swim Lessons

This year we started off our summer with swim lessons through Goose Creek Recreation department. We met with our swim instructors 4x a week for two weeks at the city pool in the Hamlets of Crowfield. There were about 10 students to two certified life guard instructors. Unfortunately, the majority of the time Stryker was watching & waiting for his turn. Luckily, Stryker's classmate and friend Jamison was in our session too and they kept each other company while they waited.

As I fully expected, Stryker jumped right in feet first and wasn't afraid to put his face in the water, jump off the side or go under to swim.

I was very proud of our little man and his swimming abilities. I was glad he wasn't afraid of the water, but was also relieved of him learning water safety. I feel sure for the next couple of summers we'll start with a little refresher course and swim lessons.
