Ethan is well on his way to earning all 20 Webelos activity badges, and one of the few that he has left, is the Aquanaut. This one is proving to be the most difficult to sign off, because in order to do so, Ethan needs to know how to swim. I took him to the pool at Debby’s condos to try to teach him to swim myself, but the problem with that is, when do I have time, without the rest of my kids, to be able to take just Ethan to a pool to teach him how to swim? So we went once. And I’ve kind of given up hope of that working out and we have signed him up for swim lessons at the Lehi Legacy Center.
Today was his first lesson. I dropped him off, but couldn’t stay because his lesson started at 4 and Girl Scouts starts at 4:30, so I had to get right back home. Kyle met him at the Legacy Center after work, so he got to watch the lesson.
Ethan spent a lot of the time holding on to the side of the pool, even though it’s shallow enough for him to stand up in. Hopefully he will get over that and actually start swimming soon. He only has two months left to learn how to swim, and pass off the Aquanaut in order to earn all twenty badges. No pressure. 😛
