Cooper at swim lessons with Coach Jeri. We are calling it "immersion" swim lessons this summer. He is going for a total of 8 weeks between Junly and August for 3 days a week. Add swimming at the lake every weekend and he should like a fish by September.

Cooper has taken lesson with Coach Jeri since he was about 8 months. We started him at the YMCA in the Fall of 2007 and she was the instructor. She teaches at the Y in the off season and does private and semi-private (like this) lessons in the Summer. She is so great with the kids and and they listen to everything she says.

Cooper went to only one of her semi-prviate lesson last summer because we got in late. He was a little too young for the on-your-own class at that time and he cried the entire class. But this year he is her star student. She tells me everytime how fabulous he is doing. She asked me yesterday if we practive at home because she cant believe how well he is progressing. Of course we go to the lake on the weekends and I think that really helps.
