Summer Swimming Lessons & Pool Fun

This summer, all four kids took swimming lessons.  I can't believe I didn't take any pictures, but they sure were cute in their swimsuits.  All of them did fantastic for not having taken lessons in about 6 years or never having had lessons.  They all passed their classes and moved on to the next level.  Carter graduated from a Guppy to a Minnow, Chloe and Mason graduated from Polliwogs to Guppies, and Josie graduated from a Pike to an Eel.  Carter was able to swim 2 laps across the pool to pass the swim test so he could go to the deep end and jump off the diving board.  Chloe was soooo close to passing and with a little more hard work she will pass the swim test also.  She can't wait to jump off the diving board!  Mason is not far behind Chloe and really did well for his first swimming lessons ever.  He is a little fish...they ALL are as a matter of fact! Can't wait to see how they will do next go around. 

Last summer, Memaw snatched this pool up for a real steal of a deal, at a toy store parking lot sale.  It was less than $10.  This summer we put it up and bought the pump and filter for it.  The kids had a great time swimming in it for several months.  I think having the pool helped them do better in swimming lessons.
