Swimming Lessons

I have become a huge fan of summer (and we are sure getting some hot weather this week). I can remember spending the majority of my childhood days parked @ the Cresson Lions Club pool with my buddy, Amy K. We would swim all day. We hated when it was break time or closing time. If anyone got their use out of their season pass to the pool, it was us.
I must've passed the love of water on to my boys because they love to be in the pool too! We just finished up swimming lessons @ Saint Francis University. They both did so well. Jackson was in Goldfish and did great. This was Jude's first swimming lesson, so he was in Minnows. They got report cards yesterday promoting them both to the next level :) Jackson will move onto Super Goldfish and Jude will go to Jellyfish.
I am excited that we go right from swimming lessons to vacation where we can continue to practice what they learned.
Jackson said that he likes swimming best of all the activities he does (except maybe his iPod). I'd love to nurture that interest - I might look into a swim club/team for him.





Most of these photos are of Jude but the finale is of Jackson jumping into the 9-ft end of the pool.
