I heard about a swim class for infants and toddlers from a few moms in our moms group and decided to check it out for Hank. The classes are held at a swim school dedicated to kids. He has 6 30 minutes "lessons" that emphasize breathing, buoyancy, and propulsion. The idea is for the babies to feel comfortable enough in the water that if they accidentally fell into water they would be able to help get themselves out.
We have gone to a couple classes already and Hank loves it. We do a lot of singing and splashing and the heated pool is very relaxing (for babies and parents). And Hank certainly does wear himself out for a good nap. He was asleep before I had even changed out of my bathing suit!
Here's a pic of Hank and Daddy at his second lesson.

How fun! Sadly, Lorelai has never even been in a pool. Oh well, maybe next summer.
