Henry and Wyatt took swimming lessons in June. Stephen took them everyday at 4 pm for two weeks. I was able to join them on "safety day" which is way they are wearing lifejackets in one of the photos.


They were allowed to wear goggles, which Stephen had mixed feelings about. As former captain of the Twin Falls Bruins Swim Team, he thought they might be better off learning how to see under the water without goggles. As someone who is basically terrified of water, I could give a shit so long as they don't drown! And interestingly, Wyatt wore his goggles across his forehead rather than over eyes. It makes no sense - silly kid!



Henry is a bit more timid in the water than Wyatt. Ultimately, that might make him a better swimmer. He seemed to approach his lessons as do or die and I noticed that he took crossing the pool much more serious than Wyatt, who was busy either trying to always go first or jump off the steps. Regardless of their different comfort levels in the water, they both rocked their lessons and they are well on their way to joining their dad as captains of the swim team. I'll be watching from the bleachers.
