Andrew and his cousin Lizzie are swim lesson maniacs! They just finished the first session at Cottonwood Heights and had lots of fun each day. I feel like Andrew is my super experimental child with swim lessons. Last year he did lessons with Dive Utah and this year he's done a session at Cottonwood Heights. Now he and Lizzie are in a new session in a backyard neighborhood pool and also doing semi-private lessons at Westminster College twice a week through the summer. So, some days they go from one lesson straight to the next. Hopefully by next summer I'll know which we like best and we'll stick with just one.
Last summer Andrew kicked and screamed at swim lessons the first several days. This summer he is a completely different kid! He's super excited about lessons most days and is doing awesome. He is great at retrieving toys from the bottom of the pool now and has become really comfortable. He has learned some good skills but, most importantly he is happy about it.
*Reasons to love Cottonwood Heights: indoor pool -no sunscreen, huge shallow pool - shoulder depth for little ones that goes on and on forever, warm water, inexpensive, we had a great teacher. *Reasons to not love Cottonwood Heights: The drive - it takes about 12 minutes but, I'd like a 2 minute commute, there were 4 kids in Andrew's class but they will allow 5, which is too many.
