ISR-Infant Swimming Resource

Ever since we moved into our new house, Elizabeth has been worried about the swimming pool in our backyard.  We signed the boys up for lessons, but unfortunately they had to be delayed by a month due to Bowen's tubes/adenoid surgery.  Here we are, a month later, and we've started our first week of lessons!
Bowen was SO EXCITED on his first day.  Surprisingly, he is still excited to go everyday, even though he does cry sometimes through his lessons.  I'm going to try to document each week.  Unfortunately, I was only able to begin videotaping on Day 3 (this is the day Bowen cried the most---but he's doing AWESOME!).  You can hear his cheering squad on the side of the pool.
These are SURVIVAL swim lessons. They are teaching our boys how to save themselves if they accidentally fall into a pool, lake, etc.  Chase is strictly learning to float until someone comes to rescue him.  Bowen is first learning to "Swim" to the wall and then he'll learn to float.  Eventually, he'll be able to swim, float to rest for a moment, and then swim again until he reaches safety.  Our teacher is amazing, so sweet and calm.
