Born to swim?

Jackson had his first swim lesson today at 4pm. He was very excited about it and kept following me around the house asking if it were time to change into his swim trunks yet. The class is for beginners up to age 3, twenty-five minutes long and focuses on water safety, submersion, kicking and breath holding. Jackson is a very cautious toddler and normally hesitant to try new things but today, he tried everything at least once! I was really proud of him. He loved kicking and splashing around but not so much anything that led to submersion. The teacher said she was really impressed and happy that there were no tears, great for his first day. Now the question is after all that anticipation did Jackson enjoy it? It was hard to tell until we got in the car and Jackson said, "Mommy, swimming is NOT my favorite!" We have class every Monday and Wednesday in April so I'll keep you posted on his progress.
