The kids are doing great in swimming lessons.
Ethel is the oldest in her class (from what we've been able to figure), and is pretty good! She isn't as hesitant as I expected her to be. Today I saw her volunteer to be a leader in a game they played. Very cool.
Fred loves the water. Wait, that's not exactly right. He LOVES the water. :) Today they added little boards to help the kids kick and float. I think he likes jumping in (into someone's arms, of course) the best, though.
