Jackson Learns to Swim

We have enrolled Jackson in a baby swim class through Emler Swim, which teaches babies through the age of 5 how to swim. He has the cutest little trunks, babies still in diapers are required to wear two pairs of swim trunks so if the first pair doesn't catch his business, they second one will... don't think he'll be excited to wear these speedo type briefs when he's 20 but they are cute now:-) At his age, he's in the waterbabies class so there is not a ton of backstroke or freestyle practice but they are learning to hold their breath under water, become acustomed to the water and how to get out quickly if they ever fell in. Jackson absolutely loves the water! He's not afraid, he kicks and plays and when I'm busy trying to get him to follow our instructor he drinks the water...I know, not so appetizing but I am constantly trying to keep him above water to prevent the swallowing. Now if I could just get him to drink plain water from a bottle!
