We did swim lessons for Cohen this year! I had kind of thought about it before, but decided to register him on sort of a whim 2 days before classes started. I'm really glad I did. Cohen had a blast!
The class was Monday through Friday at 12:20 for 30 minutes for 2 weeks.
These swim lessons somehow took over our days. It was suddenly very difficult to run arrends, or do anything else, but it was still a good experience.
The swimming pool also has a park, which provides free lunches to kids. Every day we left the house at 11:40, played for a minute, stood in line for lunch, threw down as much lunch as we could, went to the lesson, ate the rest of the lunch while driving home, then tried to get nap time before it was too terribly late.

| I decided to register because all his friends would be in the same class! Kaleb, Makenna, Cohen, and Lashae (from top to bottom) |
 |
| What do you know, all the moms got to sit and chat and take care of our babies during the swim lessons. That was really fun for me. :) |

| Daddy got to come on the last day of class. Great work Cohen! |
Cohen had so much fun and did such a great job. He passed off all the requirements and was able to move to the next level.... so we decided to to it again! That's right, 4 weeks of swim lessons every day. I didn't miss one class!

Cohen's first set of classes mainly stayed on the steps.
I mostly like this video for AFTER the song they do. It shows how comfortable Cohen got in the water. He did "bobs" all the time, without being asked.
