We were trying to be good parents when we signed up Maddox for swim lessons, but we quickly realized that you can't just throw your child into the water and expect them to swim. On our first night of lessons, Maddox was completely terrified of the water and screamed the entire 30 minutes in the pool. Nothing would calm him down, and we seriously thought this was a bad idea. We refused to give in to the pressure and took him back to the pool 2 days later. The screaming only lasted about 10 minutes. I guess that practice and repetition makes perfect because by the 6th lesson, Dad, Mom and Maddox were going completely under water with no screaming!!! YAY!!
The next Michael Phelps in the making (minus the bong)

Wow. Memories of when my boys were "little" swimmers at baby swim lessons!
