Bryce swimming lessons...

So back at the beginning of this year, Bryce took 2 months of intense swimming lessons at O'neal Aquatics. Starts at 5 days a week, 40 min lessons and slowly moves to 3 to 4 days a week 20-40 min lessons. Bryce is now the best little swimmer and seriously is the craziest kid in the pool I have ever seen. He is currently doing front flips into the pool with his sister and about gives me a heart attack every time he does it! Bryce has always loved the water but when swimming lessons started, he HATED swimming.. then about a week in, he was enjoying it again. and now the kid will jump in any pool, clothes on, without warning. Its quite the adventure watching this little guy in the pool!

Bryce floating on his back... this one took awhile but he got it!!

Noodle and kick-board across the pool all by himself... well, almost :)

You can see his goggle eyes in some of these pics!! He is so glad to get them off at the end of each lesson!

All by himself this time!!

Mommy says, "Yay, good job Bryce Man!" and Bryce is thinking, "Not so sure about this mommy.."

warming up...

And of course the little pros to set the example!! Taeya and Brielle are such great swimmers!!!

Floating FOREVER!!! Good job Bryce!

Still floating...

...and still floating!
Bryce floating and floating some more until he hits the edge, grabs the side and turns himself over. Mommy did lessons with Bryce this time so I could learn and practice with him. Its a lot to know and teach!!!

And at the end of each lesson, its diving sticks!! Bryce loves to "pick up the sticks" to end the day. I kinda got a smile out of him in this one :)

That is so adorable! I should enroll my kids in lessons. Audrey is deathly afraid of the water and Jonathan loves it, but doesn't know what to do!
I can't believe how grown up Brielle looks! Let me know next time you're in town. I'd love to see you guys!
