mason conquers the deep end

mason likes being in the big pool for swimming lessons now - as long as he can touch the bottom. but, today, he conquered the deep end! and just in time too - today was the last class of the session. the first video will give you an idea of how every class starts. let's just say he is a little slow to get in. (i did ask him if it is fear or that the water is cold. he told me that it is a little of each.)


once he is in he does pretty great. this was a super big deal for him to be in the very deep end and letting go of the noodle.


maddux' class just happened to come out to the big pool too. he stops to watch mason with his teacher.

a little of mason actually 'swimming' in the deep end. over the course of the class, he swam up and down the lane a few times using the noodle. i think this was a big mental hurdle that he overcame today!

when we went to the gym after swimming, maddux wasn't quite finished wearing his swim goggles. love.
