It's his first time in a class (outside of Sunday School) with children and people he doesn't know, and I wondered how he would do in the new and totally different environment.

Not to worry.

He LOVES it!

And he seemed pretty happy that I tagged along with my camera for one of his lessons!

With several 3-5-year-olds in the class, they split up into 3 smaller groups.  I don't know Krew's instructor, but she seems very sweet and patient.

She worked with him on relaxing into the back float.

Krew kept checking to be sure Gramaw was watching him!  So sweet!

Dog-paddling...

Learning the 3 basic backstroke arm motions...monkey, airplane, and soldier arms.

Time-out...to go pee!

The instructors made it very clear that no one is to use the bathroom in the water!

Beginnings of the elementary backstroke...

And, of course, one of the favorite activities...jumping into the water!

New skills and more confidence after each lesson for our...

...little swimmer.
