HELLO

Hi. I'm Amanda...a happy wife and mom to three awesome guys. We've lived here in Fort Collins for more than 20 years and are proud to call it home. Before moving to CO, I worked at a city attorney's office, making use of my law and Master's degrees from Duke. After settling in Fort Collins, I homeschooled my three (now teenage and older) sons and was delighted to experience music classes, soccer, karate, swim team, archery, Science Olympiad, First Lego League, parkour, and climbing (not all at the same time!). From 2005-10, I was also a contributing editor for a national scrapbooking magazine, authoring a book and a couple of monthly columns. From 2009-10, I founded and ran the Good Grief Blog. I enjoy learning new things, spending time with my family, volunteering with The Matthews House, traveling and indoor rock climbing.

Last Friday

In efforts to prepare for the summer and hone some skills (and not have to worry about the addition of swim lessons to my summer schedule, lol), I signed Asher and Micah up for private swim lessons at our gym. (Technically speaking, Asher's a pretty good swimmer and has even been invited to join the swim team, so doesn't really need lessons so much as practice/endurance. Micah likes the company, though, and Asher is just happy to have time in the pool.)

They started last Friday and will go for another couple weeks (six sessions altogether). (The flexibility of choosing session times that work for us rather than trying to fit the group lesson times into our schedule is lovely, too.)

This was them earlier today. They're thoroughly enjoying the time in the pool, and the individual attention is quite effective. Yay!

Private lessons are a great option! Swimming in general is such a great skill. We're working hard at investing the time and money into some lessons this year and hopefully next year to get them swimming well. Daniel swims really well and the other two are competent. However, they certainly need practice and technique improvement.
