Summer 2011 Swim Lessons

This summer has been the summer of swim lessons. In less than three months Davis has passed Preschool 1, 2 and 3 swim lessons and is now enrolled in Preschool 4 lessons.

After each class is over Davis receives a certificate which includes all the skills he has mastered (or not) in the class. All of his teachers agree that he is (A) fearless, (B) a fish, and (C) a joy to have in class. He sure has them fooled. Just kidding. He actually does really well listening to the teachers. Well...except for when they have to remind him for the 50th time to stay on the wall and not swim to the deep end.
