Jakob started a swim camp this week. He goes M-Th for two weeks for a 30 minute class each day. The first day he was less than thrilled to go because he was scared to put his face in the water. I assured him he would not have to put his face in the water unless he wanted to. He reaffirmed he would not want to.
Day one he put his face in the water and is not turning back. He will now fully submerge and loves getting things off the bottom of the pool. He is not ready for unsupervised pool play, however he has become much more confident and comfortable in a pool.
I had previously stated we would not be going to any water parks until he could go under water. On the third day of swim class he informed me he would be ready for a water park when he learned how to get from the bottom of the deep end to the top of the water and swim to the side. He wants to be able to do things on his own. That's my boy.
