Swimming Lessons - Take 1

Max LOVES to swim. He knows how to blow bubbles, kick his legs, float on his back, and I've been taking him underwater since he was like 6 months old.

Well, we started our first swimming lesson and low-and-behold, he kinda freaked. He completely ignored the teacher, refused to get in the water, and stared off into the distance. Who is this kid?!


Here's the "Before" pic -




And here he is, contemplating the meaning of life (on the right)-



and turning into a zombie in this video clip -


I am happy to report though, after much bribery, and 3 wasted lessons, we've finally got a good, compliant little swimmer!

I like how you told the teacher she could 'make him do it.' and i'm wondering what that would entail? hahahahaha.
