Summer Swimming

When you live in Arizona one way to cool down is to jump into a cool pool. Now the people watching on the sidelines a.k.a. Mom and Ryan just melted. Emma and Sean survived four straight weeks of Swim Lessons at the Cottonwood Aquatic Center. Sean hit a bump in the road around week 2 and didn't want to go anymore, but when the next session began with his friend Ryland Sorenson his attitude quickly changed! Emma finally gained the courage and ability to become a fish this summer. She has grown in confidence and started to trust the lifeguards enough to actually learn. Sean has started to enjoy the water, he is still hesitant but is more willing to go in for awhile. Ryan on the other hand is a Sean of two years ago- "Don't even put me near that water!"
Sean passing his "guppy" class- Good Job Sean!

Smile for the camera!
