The Swim Lesson

It has been a few weeks since Logan's first swim lesson, but I think it has taken me that long to recover. I taught preschool for 4 years and never in my wildest dreams would I have ever thought that putting 8 preschoolers in the water at one time was a good idea, especially with one adult. Well folks that sums up Logan's swim class. The good news is he had last week off and this week, they are supposed to divide the class into 2 so that should help with 4 kids. Sadly the damage has been done for poor Logan because he is no longer excited to go because of how bad the first class was.

One of the biggest problems is the pool is too deep for a preschooler so they all had to sit on the side and wait your turn. I probably don't have to tell you that it is hard for preschoolers to sit and watch 7 other kids get their turn. Add to that the fact that some of the kids were able to touch so they were playing in the pool, and you have a recipe for disaster. Logan kept wanting to get in the pool and he ended up sitting on the side crying. Also one of the little girls fell in and the teacher was too far out and the fully clothed lifeguard had her back to the kids, so the mother had to save her, needless to say this little one was traumatized.

So that pretty much summarizes the disaster known as swim class, hopefully this week goes better for Logan.
