We got Mason into swim lessons again this year and he is doing so well kicking and 'scooping ice cream'! He had a blast at lessons and talks about Jared, his instructor, all the time. Today we went swimming and Mason proceeded to "dive" in the kiddie pool - sans floaties - and hold his breath, float, and get a little distance kicking all at the same time. I'm impressed :) I also found the best flotation devices - thanks to a friends' facebook post - called Puddle Jumpers. Highly recommend!
(30-50 lbs/ Found ours on walmart.com.) With the puddle jumper on, he has the freedom to kick himself all over the pool on his own without us worrying or waiting for him to have some issue. And let me tell you, it is PERFECT for Lincoln too -- who has not a fear in the world. We love swimming... even more so when it doesn't cause a panic attack every 2 seconds! :)
