Channing's swimming lessons

Channing worked on a lot of new things in swimming lessons this summer. He learned the side stroke and the breast stroke and diving. He can now do front stroke, back stroke, butterfly stroke, breast stroke, and now side stroke. He's passed me up on my swimming ability! The teacher suggested we put him on the swim team at YMCA because he is really fast and has great endurance. But they want to practice two hours a day, five days a week. That's just too much for a 9 year old in my opinion. Not much time for homework or for having any real free time. They do have a swim team during just the summer. We might try that next summer to see if he likes it. I added a couple of other pictures of him having fun at the YMCA while Rylan was taking his lessons./
