Levi's favorite day of the week.

Tomorrow is Friday and that can only mean one thing.  Swim lessons! Levi LOVES the water. It doesn't matter if it is a swimming pool, bath tub or a puddle in the street.  Levi is drawn to it like bees to honey.

Unfortunately, his lessons for the week are cancelled.  His swim instructor is out of town.

Levi has been taking swim lessons for quite some time now.  He attends the SEAL Swim School in Lutz, Fl. His teacher is Ms. Erin.  She is certified to work with children with special needs.  She has done an amazing job of teaching him not only how to swim but how to be safe in the water. Here is a video of Ms. Erin and Levi working in the pool.



As you can see, he is quite the accomplished swimmer.  Currently she is working on getting him to turn over on his back while swimming so he can take a breath.  He is REALLY close.  Once he is able to do this, she believes he will actually be able to swim the full length of the pool!

Swimming has been so good for Levi.  Besides the fact that he absolutely loves it, it is really good for his muscles.  He is always so relaxed and loose after a swim.  I also think it gives him a sense of freedom being in the water.

For us, the best thing about swimming is that really big smile on his face every time he gets into the water.
