Our good friend Brysan Hammer is a lifeguard at the rec center here in Herriman. He decided that he would teach swimming lessons for the kids in the neighborhood and use a private pool that is in a neighbor's backyard. It worked out perfect for us!
Liev just recently had his tubes taken out so he really hasn't had a lot of experience in the water. I was so happy to have him take lessons from someone he knows! He did so good and I am mostly just happy that he is no longer scared of the water!
Rhen did really great too and learned to float on her back all by herself and has started to really do well with her swimming strokes. The hard part for her is trying to keep her face in the water while swimming with her arms and kicking her feet. But she really got good at it by the end of the two weeks.
Rease did great! She is a pretty great swimmer now and loved learning the backstroke. I'm feeling more and more comfortable letting these girls swim on their own now but it is always nice to have lessons to keep their skills refreshed!
Thanks Brysan and the Hammer boys for being such great teachers!
