Swimming Lessons



In July, both of the boys took swimming lessons at Old Natchez Country Club. Drew was so excited to take swimming lessons for the first time. He is not scared in the water and had a lot of fun each day. He was skeptical of the slide and would always stop at the end. His coach had to actually pull him into the water a couple of times. By the end of the two weeks, he had learned to do streamline flutter kicks, crawl stroke and dolphin dives (underwater swimming).

This was Jackson's second year to take swimming lessons with Coach Scott. He learned so much! He worked on his crawl stroke, his back stroke, treading water, and started learning to dive. He really gained more confidence with his swimming this year. He loved going down the slide at the end of lessons each day.

At the end, both boys were presented with swimming medals for a job well done!
