Hey Ma, Watch me swim!

Jacob started swimming lessons with Caroline a few weeks ago. He loves it! He's going to be just like his Pappa Jack who swam in college.


Swimming lessons focus on propulsion (kicking) as pictured in the first video, buoyancy (floating on his back) as pictured in the second video, and breath control (blowing bubbles and holding his breath). Jacob seemed to enjoy all of it, but sometimes he wasn't into going under water. I think mostly it was due to wanting a nap (see video 2). The pool is a heated saltwater pool. There were four other babies taking lessons too! He should be swimming in no time.
