We signed up for two 2-week sessions of swim lessons through our local parks and recreation. Its going so well that I wish we'd signed up for more. I only did four weeks because its pretty rushed going from work to daycare to swim to home to dinner to bedtime. Phew.
Anthony has made no real progress in actual locomotion, but his confidence in the water has skyrocketted. Before lessons started he enjoyed the water, but really needed to be held tightly the whole time. He wouldn't allow us to help him float on his back, for example.
After his third lesson he was jumping off the side of the pool into his teachers' arms, and after the fourth lesson he jumped directly into the pool. He'll bob his head all the way under and blow his bubbles as they float him around the pool. I'm very pleased!
The only thing he really doesn't like is swimming/floating around the pool on his back, he complains about the sun in his eyes. I don't blame him.
