We haven't put Alec in swim lessons since last summer. Last summer he snuck around the pool & jumped in the shallow end and nearly drowned. I had been waiting in the deep end for him to come down the slide. Luckily a little girl noticed and screamed, so I got to him in plenty of time. Scared me to death, so I was determined to have him swimming this summer.
When we go for fun, he refuses to swim properly, so I was worried he'd regressed and we were starting from scratch. I was wrong, the second day of lessons with Miss Sandi & he did it!!
At the end of week 2 he can swim about 20 feet (across the narrowest point of her pool) by himself, coming up for breath, etc. Now he's begun on the backstroke.
This doesn't mean I don't make him wear arm floaties or his life vest when we swim for fun…I'm not THAT comfortable yet…or uncontrolling-take your pick.
