Clayton's a Swimmer



We decided to sign Clayton up for swimming lessons this summer. Although it seems that this kid is all rough and tough..he is actually scared of a few things...and water is one of them..sure he goes in the pool or river, but he stays close to the edge and has to have his life vest on. So...we had him try out a lesson with Mandy Bailey and she is wonderful...so we were sold. Let me tell you that it is like night and day with Clayton and water now. He only had 3 lessons...we were out of town.. yada yada yada...so that was all it took. He jumps in, he takes off as soon as we get to the pool and is floating on his back, and swimming to the other side, and doing "tricks" which is very important. We are so glad the "switch" was turned and hope we can fit in another session before the end of summer.



Clayton is a huge fan of the kickboard...he does some of his "tricks" with this
