At Swimming Lessons Tucks class plays a game called “Fishy in a basket”.
Here is how they play, the teacher and most of the children hold hands around one student who stands in the middle. Then they sing this song,
“Fishy in a Basket, Fishy in a Basket, How are your going to get out? How are you going to get out?”
While they sing this song, the student in the middle tries to swim under the other peoples hands.
Tucker loves this game. I think one reason he loves it and talks about it often, is because he is really good at it, and is not afraid to put his head under the water and swim. (After swimming lessons his eyes were always red, from the chlorine, so we just got him a swimming mask, and I think that makes it even better for him.) He is loving being able to see under the water. It is so much fun to see how much he is progressing. He is such a good little swimmer.
He has a hard time staying on the wall, but he is a natural swimmer — a little fishy.
Here are a few pics:

Tucker, has a hard time staying so close to his teacher:

We have only 2 days left of swimming lessons. I am going to be sad to see them end, but it has been a fabulous way to begin the summer
