Swimming Lessons

Getting comfortable in the water

Playing in the "splash pad" after lessons!

Our little swimmer!

This is an older post but I'm going to include it anyways. Back in July, Abby took her first swim lessons. We thought it was a good time for her to get over her fear of the water. She would hold on to me for dear life! We had a two week session in San Antonio and she loved it! There were only two kids signed up; one was a 9 month old boy! So we had private lessons for a fraction of the cost! What a deal!

Abby was excited about going to the pool everyday for two weeks. She learned how to paddle her arms and kick her legs, blow bubbles (though she didn't like doing this), climb in/out of the pool using the ladder, float on her back, and go under water. She only went under twice (that was about all she could handle!). Abby even managed to kick around the pool with just her water noodle. I could never get her to do that.

Her swim instructor, Miss Sarah, was wonderful! She was very patient and understanding. We loved her!

Overall, we were very happy with what Abby was able to go in two short weeks. Now, she loves getting in the water and doesn't give me the "death grip" anymore!
