Swim Lessons

Tatum just completed her 4th session (each session runs 1 month and includes 8 lessons) of swim lessons this past week. Scott and I have both absolutely enjoyed watching Tate participate in these lessons...we've actually had to have a discussion or two on whose turn it was to take Tatum to her swim class. For one, Tatum's love and enthusiasm for her lessons is undeniable. At her first lesson this past month, Tatum continually shouted the entire half hour (to no one in particular) how much she loved swim class. Secondly, it's been really fun watching her make huge strides since we first started last July. She's gone from splashing and kicking around in her teacher's arms to being able to independently swim on her stomach and back the width of the pool.


Tatum's signature jump from the side of the pool is almost always a belly-flop. She still always comes up with a big smile on her face!

Here's a video of Tatum swimming across the width of the pool on her back.
