Swimming Lessons

These pictures are from the 1st day of swimming this year.  Rachel got to move to the group that is in the middle of the pool.  I was surprised they moved her.  She was so excited for swimming though.  She kept putting her face in the water at the beginning.  She has no fear of swimming so that's great.

 She could hardly wait to get in.  I told her she could put her feet in the water but needed to wait for her teachers before she could get in.

 Getting the pool rules at the beginning.  The 1st rule is no pottying in the pool.  

 Practicing her kicks.  She was trying to figure out that her legs need to go up and down not side to side.

 Practicing floating on her back.  She doesn't like that one very much.  This is a great death grip on the shoulders of the teacher.

 Going further out and she actually has her arms off the teacher.

 Swimming with her face in the water.  She does this so good.  She comes up for a breath and then goes right back under.

Karen actually had her swimming on her own except the little bit of help on the back of the neck to get her to the side of the pool.  I was so impressed.
