Ethan's Swimming Lessons

I have been driving Ethan up to Diamond Valley, about 20 minutes away, for swimming lessons with a woman who has a pool in her backyard. She has been teaching for years. Ethan has done very well in her class. Today was the last class of this session so they got to show off. My digital camera's battery died when we showed up (I know, I should have checked it) so I don't have photos, but my video camera worked. So here are some videos.

This first video is of Ethan swimming across her pool. He doesn't like to take any breaths when he is swimming for fear that he will sink. So he just goes as fast as he can until he absolutely has to take a breath. On the video, you can hear me telling him to breath. We will have to work on it.



Here is a video of Ethan flipping from his front to his back.




Here's a video of Ethan diving into the pool in the deep end.



This last video is of Ethan going down the slide. He was fearless and kept going down and down.
