We are homeschoolers in Buffalo NY, a friendly and great city. This blog starts one year after we began homeschooling and we plan to frequently document our homeschooling experiences going foward highlighting the joys and challenges we face. Our goal is to provide a self-paced, if not customized, education using our city environment as a classroom.

Endless Joy for Mom - Continued
Unfortunately, I am afraid to bring my camera near the pool, but we have had a banner set of homeschool days over the past week. Both C (on Friday) and T (on Monday) have passed their swimming lessons from Mom. T isn't even 5.5 yet and C isn't 4.5 yet and they can both swim 25 yards doing a combination of doggie paddle and rolling onto their back and floating and kicking. I feel that they are safe enough in the pool. There is plenty of time for stroke refinement. C is a real natural at swimming so it may not be far behind anyway. I was so thrilled. Start to finish our lessons took less than 6 weeks (we have been averaging 3 times per week of swimming). I would love to take credit, but their comfort in the water made it easy. Still, it makes me feel so good as a Mom!

You are a rock star! I am going to attempt to teach my kids to swim this summer. Pray for me.
ReplyDeleteThanks! I will. I am sure it will be a rewarding experience and a great time together at the very least.
