We signed the girls up to take swim lessons this summer. I should have done this last year for Lily, but I never found any close by at a reasonable rate. However, this year, a lady in our neighborhood sent an email that she was opening her pool up and her 3-year-old daughter's swim instructor was offering group lessons on Wednesday evening. Since our church doesn't do Wednesday night activities during the summer, this works great!
When we went to the Henderson's house on Monday evening, Lily didn't want to get in the pool at all until she realized she could touch the bottom of the shallow end and walk around. She and Mia were both terrified of putting their faces in the water. Needless to say, this made me dread the first swim lesson which was on Wednesday! However, both girls took a few minutes to relax in the pool and then they did great! Mia did a great job of kicking her feet and blowing bubbles underwater. Lily amazed me at how quickly she picked up on paddling, blowing bubbles and kicking her feet. She was even excited to go completely underwater after about 20 minutes! Obviously, it will take more practice, but I think she is going to be swimming like a fish before we know it! I'm looking forward to a fun summer in the pool!
