Swim Class

Since Nathan was 5 months old, he has been going to swim class once a week. He absolutely LOVES the water and enjoys swim class very much. He has learned to kick his legs in the water, he has no problem having water poured over his head, and he even knows how to hold his breath when you put him under water! It has been an amazing process to watch him learn these skills. Young babies automatically have an instinct to hold their breath if they go under water... but it has been amazing to see how Nathan has learned the cues that I give him right before I put him under. I say "ready, set, go" and then I lift him up and then bring him down and put him under water. Right before he reaches the water, he closes his eyes and scrunches up his face in preparation... he totally knows that he is about to go under water! It has just been such an absolutely awesome process to watch... I am watching him learn to swim & it is amazing!!

Here is a video from his swim class last week
