Mommy & Me Swim Lessons

Dax and Mommy did swim lessons together for 9 whole days!
Dax likes water, but he doesn't like getting his face wet and he's pretty cautious, so we did swim lessons to help him get use to the water and also to learn some water safety.

First couple times we went Mommy would ask Dax if he wanted to go swimming in the pool.
His reply-"No. No want to" By the end of this experience the same question got a "YEAH!" with a full thrust of the arms

The Routine-
Sing Wheels on the bus while doing actions(paddling arms for wheels, going back and forth in the water for wipers, go up and down, and splashing for coins going clink)
Wheels on the Bus was Dax's favorite thing to do

Throw squirt toy and reach for it. First few days Dax thought this was dumb and would throw his toy fairly close to him but he would still reach for it. Towards the end of our session he would throw it as far as a could and reach and kick the whole way there.

Sing Row Row Row Your Boat while paddling arms

Throw toy and paddle arms

Blow Bubbles

Throw toy, reach and blow bubbles

Float on back(Dax HATED this but still did it and by the end of the 9 days he still didn't like it but tolerated it)

Ring Around the Rosies(Another Favorite)

Kicking Legs

Jumping into the Pool

Safety we learned-
No running around the pool
Make sure your with a grown up if you get in the pool
spider crawl along the edge

The last day of swim was a play day and Dax and Mommy got to go down the BIG tube slide as much as we wanted(which turned out to be once cuz Dax just wanted to watch rather then go down the slide) Still alot of fun!
