Swimming Lessons for the Brock Man!

 Swimming Lessons at Surf n Swim (8)

Brock took swimming lessons with some friend of ours from our ward.  We all had a blast each day at our lessons.

You might think it is too early for Brock to be taking swimming lessons, but he LOVED it, and did surprisingly well.  He took a second to warm up to the water, but not too long.  He loved when I’d put him on his back and say, kick kick kick.  He would close his eyes and just kick away. We put a noodle under his head and he just kicked in circles with a big grin on his face.

I would dunk him a couple times each lesson, and he didn’t even cry.  He was born to swim.  Our little fish.

I think it’s good for kids to learn how to swim at an early age. I took lessons when I was really little too and I am so glad I knew how to swim all my life. I was never afraid of the water growing up. I hope Brock will enjoy swimming and being in the water since we are a big boating and water activity family.

Brock loved playing with the toys after lesson time.  Here he is with his favorite toy, a Bah!

We tried to get a picture of these three, but Lani wasn’t having it.

Aunt Cortney came to play on the last day of lessons. She is so good with kids and loves Brock. Thanks for coming to play Cort.

We love our little fish. We hope he can take swimming lessons again very soon.

What a cute little guy! That is such a good idea for swimming lessons so early too! I didn't even think of that, I guess I'll have to do it for Tavin next summer.

Brock is a little fish! It's awesome how well he does in the water! I agree, I think it's really good to start them young. Those swim lessons were so fun and good for the kids, thanks for inviting us! :)

I totally agree! I want to start lessons with Ty when he hits 6 months. The earlier the better in my eyes. Brock is such a freaking cutie!!!! LOVES

Oh my heavens...he is a fish who lives out of water. That's crazy! You've inspired me. Maybe one day I can have my kids take swimming lessons too, while they are still little...SO FUN!
