Swimming lessons

Chris was able to salvage a few of the pictures that I took at Carter's swimming lessons. I have no idea how, I am completely illiterate when it comes to trying to fix things when it comes to electronics.

He takes swimming lessons from the Williams family. They were in our ward before they split it the last time. They have four girls and a son that is Kennedy's age. They taught Ryan and Kennedy to swim when they were young, so it's fun to see how they've grown up now that Carter is old enough to take lessons.

Melissa is the youngest of the four girls. She taught Carter this year. Here's a few pictures that were salvaged. I'm just bummed that the ones I took of him going off the diving board couldn't be found.

Carter free diving for a diving rocket. He can go down about 7 feet to retrieve the diving rocket.

He's also learned his freestyle stroke really well. He actually passed the swim test at a local pool so that he could jump off the diving board at our ward party. He had to swim across the pool and back without using a doggy paddle. He was really excited.

When he dives down further than about 7 feet he has to get a push down from Melissa.
