Jackson ISR 2013

Jackson did the ISR swim lessons again this year. Last year he was a young age and it was pretty much the end of summer so he just learned the float. This year we did the whole sequence and reinforced the float he had learned last summer. He loves the swim part and will swim back and forth between Jimmy and I all day if we let him! Our hand is his target and he looks for it underwater. If we pull our hand out he usually will roll over into his float because he sees there is no target to swim to.

Here are some videos from our lessons this time. I got in the water a couple times at the end for her to show us how to work with him in the pool on our own.

He also got a trophy when he finished his lessons and passed his test. For his test he has to be fully clothed including a regular diaper (think super heavy when filled with water!), shoes and even a hoodie on. She runs through a series of tests including the 1 minute float and simulating waves over his face and even what if the hoodie was over his face while he was floating. He did great throughout the whole thing!

We are so proud of our little fish!!
