Ringing the bell

Jonas and Lachlan are taking swimming lessons this summer.  They’re doing so good, and we are so proud of them!  Jonas had moved up 2 levels, can swim across the pool with ease, and is working on side breathing, butterfly kicks, and breaststroke.  Lachlan has also moved up 2 levels and is amazing us with how fast he is overcoming his fear!
Each time you complete a level, you get to ring the bell in front of everyone.

Then they give you a ribbon, a tattoo, and a new bracelet for your next class.

As a special treat, we let each child choose the dinner restaurant whenever they ring the bell.  They both rang on the same day the first time, and we headed to Chuy’s.  Then Jonas rang again, and he chose Pizza Hut.  The next time Lachlan rang the bell, we headed to Chick Fil A! 
We are loving Love To Swim and are considering continuing year-round!
