Summertime Swimtime

These two are very excited because we decided to join the Charlotte YMCA for the summer. There are at least 6 outdoor pools we can go to in our area and even more indoor ones.

Here's Benny demonstrating his swim stroke. I'm so happy we finally got the boys these swim shirts. Saves me time putting on sunscreen and saves them from burning.

Another great thing about going to the pool is that our good friends, the Molskness family, can meet us there. They joined the same day as us.

The sweet girls, Addy and Norah. They passed a swimming test to get the green bands around their necks. This means they can go anywhere in the pool without adults.

Here are all the boys. Jackson has since got a green band and Aaron a yellow. The yellow enables him to be in the shallow water without an adult and go down the slides.

The girls getting ready to go down the slides.

This week and last, the kids have been taking semi-private swim lessons. This was another reason we joined the Y.

Benny is very close to a yellow band but he's still working on his swimming distance.

The kids are loving all this swimming and these girls are doing a great job teaching them.
