Only Trevor and Heidi took swimming lessons this year, but since my friend's daughter is the one teaching them, the other kids are free to splash around and practice their swimming the whole time too. For the first week, I had to get in the pool with Natalie while she played with her little floatie on, but by the second week, she was confident enough to get dressed, get her floatie on, and get into the water with very little assistance from me. She was very comfortable floating around in the water, although it typically only lasted about half an hour before she wanted to get out and go play on the swing set, play in the sandbox, or swing in the hammock.
Trevor and Heidi are both making significant progress and getting better at swimming in the deep end.
Asher and Leif are both confident swimmer and are safe in the water. They don't have amazing technique, but I know they are safe and they love to jump and splash all around.
