After our week of swimming with Gigi, Adam is an expert 2 year old swimmer. He loves getting rings off the bottom of the pool. He's got a natural floating body, so you have to help him get down by pointing his head toward the bottom. But, he gets up on his own by kicking off the bottom. He also began swimming out from the step on his own, turning, and swimming back to the steps. Gigi worked very hard to teach him how to grab the side as a safety precaution and he is doing much better at that. Chris and Gigi both are very impressed with his flutter kick and that he naturally points his toes...good swimming technique. He was also getting a little too brave with jumping in wherever he felt like it. You really had to watch him because he'd go with no warning...we're still working on correcting that. Chris took him down to touch the bottom of the deep end a few times. Adam loved being thrown up high and then splashing into the water. That sometimes resulted in belly flops, but he still came up smiling. So, thanks to Gigi and Grandpa for spending a week with us and giving Adam personal swim lessons. The lessons and you are priceless.
