We went yesterday and got the kids tested for swimming lessons. Meghan didn't have to test since she's never done lessons--she starts in level 1--makes sense huh? Kathryn tested to level 2--I think she might have been able to do level 3, but it would have been a bit tough and Brendan tested to level 3--I think he should have been level 4, but the lifeguards doing the testing see what they see at that moment--so he had a bit of trouble and level 3 it is. Lessons start 18 June once the kids are out of school and stuff. At least we are all set now.
We made our trial run to the pool today--just for 1 1/2 hours to see how the little ones would do and what kind of ridiculous rules they have this year. (Last year they wouldn't let Meghan wear floaties or a stroller on the deck and I had a 6ish month old and Her!!!--made swimming a bit tough) Oh and by the way the shallowest water they have is 3 feet! Dumb huh? This year though everything went, well...swimmingly! Brendan and Katie are obviously off all over the place doing their own thing. Meghan freaked out at first--screaming and wanting a life jacket and hanging on to me for dear life (yes I was holding Dillan too). Finally, I gave in and let her have a life jacket (they allow those) and then she was fine after 20 minutes and floaties and off on her own she was. Yes!! Well as on your own as you are hanging onto the wall:) This year they allow floaties and for her to be in the water without me!!! Dillan LOVED the water and when he was out he was playing with little pool toys and looking at the "da-tor" (tractor) in the parking lot. Anyway, long story short, everything went great, the kids had a blast, I got some sun, and now we plan on swimming about every day this summer!!!
Now we are home having some lunch, have a nap (well Dillan) and a rest, and then we are off to see Shrek the Third! All in all a pretty fun way to spend a Saturday.
