Chase's Swimming Lessons

So we were finally able to convince Chase to start swimming lessons again. We had started them last winter and they were great, until they weren't. He got scared because the level of difficulty began to increase and the thought of going under water terrifies him. After many discussions about this summer & swimming with his friends (many of whom are already great swimmers and aren't afraid), he finally changed his mind.

Although we've only had 2 lessons, I've seen such a big change in him. He has a great attitude, he doesn't seem scared, more excited & ready. I hope this pattern continues so that this summer he can feel more confident at the pool instead of needing me by him constantly. The one video shows him jumping into the water with his instructor a considerable distance away from him. For Chase, that is huge and I'm so proud of him for just going for it!
