Jaxen Swim Lessons

I worried about Jaxen the most. This is the kid that freaks out about getting his head wet in the shower. At the start of the class I thought that maybe I should have put him in the same class as Ember. He started to cry at least two different times because he didn't want to swim/put his face in the water. He kept saying I can't. It is amazing what 8 days of swim lessons can do!

Here is Jaxen showing off his "bobbing" skills. Yes, you see clearly, his face is in the water!

Oh yes, the back float. He was the talk of the town, OK amongst his friends, because he could do a back float...they all wanted to learn how. You can't tell clearly, but she is not holding on to him. Oh yeah, she is Claire, his teacher. We couldn't leave the pool each day until each student had cleared out and the lifeguards left. He had to say bye.

The ever dreaded front float...which requires, a favorite skill, a full face submersion. He did it! Yes, that is my boy out there conquering his fears one back float and front float at a time.
