My little swimmer

Henry started swim class 3 weeks ago and it is by far my favorite activity with him.  I was nervous at first but he seems to have so much fun with it.  The only thing I don’t enjoy is the 45 minute commute to the pool.  I have to take 2 busses to get there which is never fun. The first bus takes us from Parsons Green to Chelsea and then the second bus takes us to Battersea park where the class is.  There is a class closer but the wait list is out until November. 

Classes are about 30 minute and always involve at least 2 underwater swims. He can't really swim but it is nice to get him comfortable with being in the water.  His favorite is the splish splash song, which involves dipping, turning and singing. We always get a great nap in after class, which is always a great bonus. 

Grandma and Grandpa went with us this week to class so now I have these wonderful pictures.

You might not be able to tell but that is Henry under the water swimming.
 He is basically 'swimming' underwater for 2-3 seconds as I hold him under walking backwards.
