Trey was so excited that he was able to take swimming lessons this summer. The class was only a week long, but he really learned a lot. He practiced putting his head under water, blowing bubbles, floating on his back, kicking his legs, and doing strokes with his arms. At first, he was very hesitant to do anything that the teacher (Melinda) asked him to do. But, towards the end of the week, he could do all that she asked. By the next week, when we would go swimming as a family, he would wear a life jacket, but could do all the things he learned really well. I can't wait to put Trey in swimming lessons next year to really help him to be able to swim totally on his own. I think this summer, the lessons really helped him to build his confidence and give him exposure to what he is capable of doing in the water.
