AJ's First Swim Lessons

AJ entered the "Jellyfish" class this summer for his first week of swim lessons. He could do everything they wanted him to do (blow bubbles, go under, dive for a ring, kick, etc.), but the task for this week was learning how to listen to someone new and LET them show you how to do something the right way. He started getting the hangof it by Wednesday! Here they are using the "marshmellows" to kick their way out to the slide.

Once they mastered the kicking, they got to go down the slide a couple of times each day. AJ about gave his instructors a heart attack on Thursday (the second day of the slide reward) when he went up the stairs and down the slide before being told. The instructor in the pool heard the splash and instantly scooped him up, but he got a lecture afterwards. OOPS!
