Adam completed his summer swimming class at the YMCA on August 16th! He was the youngest in the class, but he did great! He loves being in the water, which was really the goal - success! He liked watching the other kids, and did some really good work figuring out how to paddle and kick his legs. I was skeptical when the teacher tried to teach them safety turns - basically a move to grab the side and pull their body out if they fall in the water - but Adam actually got the hang of it, and would turn his head around and grab the side when we plopped him in the water.
Adam's big moment - receiving his certificate!
A couple of videos to share. This is the song we would always sing at the end of class - My Bonnie Lies Over the Ocean.
We tried to teach him to blow bubbles in the water. He didn't quite get it, but loved watching us do it.
