Jon is the one under water. The first thing they did each day was to dunk the kids, to get them used to holding their breath.
Learning to kick with the barbell.
They were being taught to climb out of the pool. "Elbow - elbow - tummy - knee"

Each lesson ended with a trip down the slide. This was the first time Jon had ever gone down a pool slide. 
If you look closely at Jon face, you can see the look of pure terror on his face!
He recovered quickly, however! In fact, when Daddy came home that night, Jon ran up to him to announce "I got down the slide!"
He looked forward to that trip down the slide every day. the very last swim lesson, he landed a little bit closer to the slide, and the instructor didn't catch him right away. This meant that Jon went down pretty far. We were expected a freaked out kid to pop up. Instead, he came up laughing his little head off! Also, the last lesson had a substitute instructor. She & Jon hit it off instantly! Afterwards, I got her name, and asked if she gave private lessons. Turns out, she's one of the private instructors there. All I have to do is give her name at the front desk! As much as Jon learned during those 2 weeks, it was sometimes hard for him to stay focused. There were about 8 kids in the class, so Jon was able to goof off without always being noticed. I think that he'd get more out of private lessons.
