Swim Lessons

I overheard some moms talking about swim classes for their children. It was the beginning of August and I thought, yah I should probably get Jaxon some lessons. When I remembered, a week later, I googled the Lakewood rec. center swimming. The website was confusing and trying to sign Jax up was like trying to figure out a Tangram. I assumed what I was looking for would be called Toddler Swim or Your baby can swim or something to that nature. There was a class that was offered for ages 3-16 and included mental and physically challenged kids. I thought the age range was rather large but it was the only class with Jaxon's age identified. So I signed him up for Adaptive swim.

On the first day of swim class, we showed up right on time. I mean I ran in the locker room at 10:30 for the 10:30 class. I sprayed Jax with sun screen and walked out to the pool area. There was a group of kids Jaxon's age in the pool already. I wanted to make sure that this was his class so I stopped a life guard walking by and asked. "I am looking for the 10:30 swim class?" He looked at Jaxon and then at me and said what's his name. I replied Jaxon. He looked at me funny and said "Oh he is with me, Adaptive swim right?". At this point I couldn't remember what the name of the class was so I said, "Uhm I am not sure what class I signed him up for". He replied that I had signed him up for Adaptive swim, a class reserved for only mentally and physically challenged kids...OOPPS! Luckily Mr. Vince (that's what Jax called him) didn't mind, and Jaxon got two weeks of private swim lessons. On that last day he even jumped off the diving board!!!

Mr. Vince was such a good teacher. Thank you Mr Vince!!!
