Swimming Lessons
Anders took "Minnows I" swimming lessons at the Hood River pool this month. With a little help from mom, Anders sang songs, swam on his stomach and on his back, learned to hold on to the side of the pool, and had fun throwing and fetching toys in the pool.
The goal of the class was to acclimate him to water. At the first class, he was quite clingy and cried when I dunked him under water. In later classes I had to put effort into holding on to Anders as he wiggled around in the water, and there was no crying after going under.
In the video, it takes a little longer that usual for Anders to recover from the dunk. He must have been distracted by Dad with the camera.
He is now more tolerant of getting his hair washed in the bathtub as well. Class goal achieved.
