Swimming Lessons

May 2013

Lincoln took five swimming lessons.  We went to Donna's Dolphins because of a Groupon that we had purchased for $50.  This place was really cool and I liked their system but if we didn't have the Groupon it would be expensive.  Lincoln was incredibly shy/nervous; it was hard to tell why he didn't want to get in the water.  Once we pretty much threw him in he had a great time and he trusted his instructors.  He had a couple of really great instructors but I think Lincoln needed consistency.  His favorite instructor that he had twice was Jade.  I wish Lincoln could have learned more in his time there.  Here are a few pictures from his swimming lessons.  Great job Lincoln, you did awesome! 

Oh I forgot to mention he was practically refusing to do lessons by the second or third time so we needed to bribe him with a trip to Chuck-e-Cheese if he would get in the water willingly and do his swim lessons.  He loved it.  

 Jade is the instructor helping someone else, Linc is on the sidelines waiting his turn.

 This was about the third or fourth lesson.  I love his happiness.

I thought I had pictures of his last day with Jade, this is a reminder for me to find them.
