Over the years, Aidan has pretty much been terrified of the water. He will go into the water, and play around, but absolutely no going under the water. Even in the bathtub. He has never liked his head being remotely close to going under the water. This summer at 7 peaks, he has had a few times while in the wave pool, having the waves coming over his head. Choking, coughing and crying sometimes after it. So I knew it was time for swim lessons. Thankfully, he agreed. Now, keep in mind that any sort of lessons Bryan and I tried to help him with, were unsuccessful. To my surprise, on his very first day of class, he was a superstar! I could not believe that he was going under the water, swimming with the teacher and doing so great at everything she asked him to do. He has loved every minute of it, and has done so well. He still doesn't love to go under the water, but he is doing it, and trying his best. I though maybe his teacher would want him to try Level 1 again, but today she came up and told me that over the years, all of the students she's taught, she hasn't ever seen someone improve so much. And he passed to Level 2! Great job Aidan!!
