Here's Toby, at his second swim lesson, in line to jump into the pool. This is how they end each lesson. I'm still not sold on their ability to teach Toby
how to swim, but at least he's in the water each week kicking and paddling and getting wet. Last week after he jumped into the pool at the end of the lesson one of the teachers took off his flotation device and gave him a little test to see what he can do with out it. He promptly went underwater. But he discovered that he can touch at the shallow end, and they said that he needs to kick his feet more, instead of just paddling with his hands. This isn't something we'll be able to practice in the bathtub at home, so we'll just have to remind him before his swim lesson to try kicking with his legs more.
