Ryan was a great swimmer before lessons, but he really strengthened his skills over the week! I think his biggest improvements were made on his "back swimming" skills ... he doesn't love the back float or the elementary back stroke, but he did a great job at both! He was also able to swim down to the bottom of the 8 1/2 foot pool to get the dive stix off of the bottom of the pool!! It made me proud to watch my biggest brother show off his swimming skills :) Here is a picture of Ryan smiling as he shows us the elementary back stroke...
Dylan was a pretty strong swimmer before lessons too, but he is now a stronger and more confident swimmer! He did such a good job with each stroke and is a great back floater! We also saw Dylan jump in the water without holding his nose at swim lessons... here is a picture!! We were so pround of our Dylan!!
Before this week, Wilson was a "floatie swimmer"... now he is a fearless swimmer!! He is a developing swimmer who should be a little afraid, but now that he knows he will not sink without floaties, he has absolutely NO FEAR of the water! It was super amazing to see how much Wilson learned in just one week... I can't wait until I get the chance to go to swim lessons next summer! Here is a picture of Wilson floating on his back... I think he could do it all day if he had to!!
We had a fantastic 4th of July weekend! We enjoyed A LOT of family on Saturday at the family reunion... and then we enjoyed the little family that stayed to celebrate the 4th with us on Sunday and Monday :) Words wouldn't do it justice, so here are some pictures of our fun times!!
Happy 4th from The Bell Boys!!
