Dash & Splash

Kyle goes to Dash & Splash at the gym on Tuesdays and loves it. The kids spend a half hour in the gym and then a half hour in the pool. The group is usually small, and the instructor works really well with the kids. Kyle has learned a lot at it, and the pool portion incorporates a lot of one-on-one swim instruction. Kyle talks about exercising, about making A's and I's (jumping jacks), and teaches Erin how to paddle in the bath tub. We are so fortunate to have such a great activity to go to.

I have to include this picture because it's a rare moment... Kyle is sitting listening, as he should. Kyle is probably Julie's biggest challenge because he is so active. He has really calmed down in the last year, though, and participates much better.

Hockey

Putting the goal cone back

Running

Making a chain

The kids form a train to go from the gym to the locker rooms to get ready for the pool portion. They always get a lot of smiles as they go "choo-chooing" through the gym.

The group sits on the steps waiting to begin the swimming time.
