Had swimming lessons today.  Missed last term cuz I was too slack with the move to Perth.  Anyway, started our first lesson today.

The lessons were great.  They focus on water awareness and safety.  A bit more focused that the ones we were in in Melbourne.  Loved the ones in Melbourne and of course harrison is a bit older so he can follow directions a bit better. 

To start with, they get the kids to do a safe entry into the pool.  Harrison thought that was to jump in!  But he caught on quickly and was following directions.  Did a few activities in the very shallow water before moving into the deep end.  Once there, we did some more activities such as walking down the steps, paddling with arms and kicking with legs, jumping off the ledge which Harrison loves, scooting across the wall while holding on with hands and encouraging them to pull themselves up and out of the water.  Harrison kept putting his feet up first silly boy!

Once we were done, we had a bit of a play in the shallow pool and he got to play with Miles, another little boy.  Who's mother took our number to have play dates...but they had a blast going down the slide and splashing in the water.  It was great. 

Good to have a bit of organization to our day.
