Seth, Tysen, and Koen waiting for lessons to begin.
This is the third time our kids have taken swimming lessons through the East Kentwood Aquatic Center, and we continue to enjoy the program! The teachers are wonderful and the class sizes are perfect. The other sessions our kids have been in classes with only one or two other kids. This time around, Tysen's Parent-Child class has 10(!) kids in it, but then there are two instructors. Koen still only has three other kids in his class, so the ratio is wonderful!
Koen's first day last summer was traumatic for both him and me. He screamed most of the time and the swim lesson coordinator asked me to leave the room, thinking that might help Koen settle down. After that class, we decided to change class times and do a parent-child session with him which helped greatly! Tysen and Seth joined in the last few of those classes just because Tysen was super interested and the teacher said it would be OK (at no cost!).
The second sesson last fall went much more smoothly, and this sesson continues with that trend. The boys really enjoy swimming lessons, and I enjoy watching them have fun while their confidence in the water grows.
