Last Swim Class of 2012

Dear Conor,

On November 3, 2012 you attended your last swim class of the year.  There was one more session but because of the holidays and your birthday we decided to skip that session and we will resume swimming in January of 2013 when you are ONE!

Daddy got into the pool with you and I stayed dry in order to take pictures to document this special day.  You have now been swimming almost every Saturday for the last fourteen weeks and you have become very comfortable in the water.

ohhh....this water is chilly but I'm ready for class!

Class always starts with songs in the circle.  This time requests were taken and so Daddy asked for Baby Shark.....it starts with small bobs in the water with the Baby Shark and by the time you get to Daddy Shark there are big splashes - you just love the big Daddy Shark Splashes!

Baby Shark..do do dodo dado....Baby Shark

Daddy Shark doo doo do do doodooo......Dadddy Shark

Then its time for blast offs and mountain tops.  During this the teachers give out toys to encourage the babies to jump into the pool and swim.  You have always gotten the Captain to play with and yo get so excited when you see him at the pool.

It's Captain Time!

Blast Offs!

Daddy - look I swam to the Captain!

When swimming was over the instructors had a big surprise for everyone.....they had certificates!  Here is your certificate!

 And because we are taking a break we asked your teacher for a quick picture. You weren't thrilled (it was chilly) but she was very happy to give you a big hug - she said you are a GREAT swimmer!

I can't wait for us to return to the pool in 2013 but for now its showers and the bathtub :)
