During the time I have been home with the new baby, I have been in charge of getting Lucy and Max to swim lessons at the Carpinteria Community Pool.  Toby works on getting a nap while we are out for an hour and a half.

Lucy is in the Step 1 – Beginning class and has made great progress towards being water safe.  She loves jumping into the water from the dive platform.

Max is in Step 4 – Advanced and is learning to dive and swim with particular strokes:  Freestyle, Butterfly, Breaststroke and Backstroke.

While waiting during Max’s lessons, Lucy decided that she wanted to be a lifeguard.  On a many days, she went right up to the lifeguards and asked to sit in their chair.  Since only the Advanced swimm ers were in the pool, most granted Lucy her wish.
