It had been a year or so since Connor took swim lessons. He really loves the water but can't swim a stroke. A wonderful opportunity arose when friend Abby was looking for an internship. Although we didn't have any leads on any internships, we wondered if she'd be willing to give swim lessons to both Connor and Tyler for which we'd gladly compensate her. As it turned out, Abby agreed, and for over two months she gave lessons to the boys. In the end, Connor still needs more help, so maybe next summer Abby will be available again to give more instruction.
