Swimming lessons

Becca, Hannah, Peter Gordon, and Emily all took swimming lessons at the Veteran's Pool in Provo this year. They went several times during the last two weeks of July and had a blast. Their favorite part was the last day when they all got to go down the hydrotubes.

Hannah working on the backstroke. She is getting to be a pretty good swimmer and almost has all of the strokes figured out. She still needs to work on her breaststroke coordination. She also needs to get more comfortable in the middle of the pool.

Another backstroker. Becca is getting really good with all of her strokes and is really proud of finally figuring out the butterfly. She and Hannah about died the last day of lessons because they had to swim so many laps but they survived and it was, apparently, worth it because they are both addicted to the hydrotube.


Peter Gordon is becoming more confident in the water. He is an expert diver and loves to retrieve things off of the bottom of the pool. If he could only channel that enthusiasm for actually swimming he might eventually give Michael Phelps a run for his money! =)


Proof that Emily actually does know how to stick her head in the water--especially if it happens while jumping into the pool. She learned a few things when she wasn't busy playing in the water and is much more comfortable in the pool.
