Kya is now old enough to be in swimming lessons (yes I lied about her age to get her started almost a year early) and she has already advanced to one level behind Ryker. Here she is coming out of the slide that her big brother still won't do on his own. She went again and again. She has no fear! Ryker has been down it once on his own and once with a teacher. He doesn't like that it is dark and he goes too fast. It is funny to see Kya put her hand on his back, look him right in the eye and tell him that he doesn't have to be scared, she'll wait for him at the bottom if he wants to go. Haha! I'm not making fun or Ryker because it is good that he is cautious and maybe it is just the age because only one kid in his class wanted to go down, but Kya is a dare devil! Sometimes she's a little too crazy for her own safety.
That's my girl!
Ryker waiting his turn to swim the length of the pool.
I'm amazed at what a good swimmer he's starting to become. He can even "sort of" to the American Crawl and Breaststroke.
Kya jumps off the side and swims back to the edge with minimal assistance if any.
Kya can dive down and get rings from the bottom of the pool now too. She's pretty proud of her newly acquired skill and would do it all day long if they'd let her.
