Since Jimmers had a fever this morning, Matt called to let me know that their boys wouldn't be coming over today. Collin and Aaron were bummed...so we packed a swim bag and headed for open swim in the 2 foot heated pool at the YMCA.
This was our 5th trip to the Y, using the pass we bought at Lynne's Benefit Silent Auction. During their 3rd visit with Adam, the boys were able to hold their breath underwater without plugging their noses. This was my first time witnessing their 'tricks'. They have made amazing progress in the water.
I think we're still going to try to attend private swimming lessons this summer. The goal is to get the kids comfortable in water (which they seem to have mastered)...while teaching them a healthy respect of the water (Aaron's having some difficulty with this one!). These goals seem imperative given the fact that Aaron fell out of the boat into Lake Vermilion last Spring and I almost drowned at the age of six in the Estelline Community Swimming Pool.
