More Swimming!

So, I have been looking for a fall/winter swim program for Cole. I decided I would take him to a local Sports Club and pay for him to do swim lessons twice a week through out the Fall/Winter. As soon as Cole started to swim for the instructor she turned to me and asked how old he was? I said 4 and with a look of amazement on her face she said she had a better program for him. It is program for 6 to 14 year olds, two days a week from 4:00 - 5:00. The instructor told me she had NEVER let anyone under 6 into the program but because of the talent that Cole is, she would make the exception. She proceeded t tell me that she had NEVER seen a child as young as Cole with such talent and strength in the water, how he was going to be an amazing swimmer and how he was already built for the sport. I of course, jumped at the opportunity and agreed with tears in my eyes to let him join their fall/winter program. So far Cole is loving it and he keeps up with those big kids and works his little butt of at every practice. He is the talk of the pool with all the other parents and they can not believe he is 4 and that good of a swimmer. I was telling JD the other night, that his swimming is something special. I just don't want to burn him out at such a young age. My goal is to continue to make sure he is having fun with it and make sure I listen to what he wants. Secretly, I pray he loves it forever! Who know, he just might be the next Michael Phelps!!!!!!
