I knew Connections offered swim lessons to kids during the school year and I knew that was going to be one of my non-negotiables. When I told the kids they both protested: "Do we haaaaaave to? Why? I know how to swim!" For 2 months I have listened to their complaints, but last week when they began lessons the complaints suddenly disappeared. Each day when they were done with swim lessons I asked, "How was it?" And each day they both would respond with a solid, "Good!"
Score one for mom (with full support from dad)! Besides it being a relief that they stopped complaining, my joy is twofold. My daughter has a beautiful stroke, and what was just a couple weeks ago a crazy, splashing frenzy is now a smooth, svelte crawl across the pool. And my son is now considering being on the Homer swim club, a well-developed, strong group with regular practices and good coaching. So cool! I am a happy mom. Though I have to admit, part of my happiness right now is that it is over! One hour practices every day of the week for two weeks has gotten old, though it has been great running errands and chatting with other homeschooling parents poolside.
