We started P on some swim lessons back in July see previous post. After that first 8-session class, she was hooked! We felt that she was really coming out of her shell, enjoying the lessons, and really seemed to be soaking up all the new things she was learning and transferring those skills during her bathtime.
We took a couple weeks' hiatus and resumed for another 8 session-class.
This time, she was pretty much one-on-one with her instructor Calli. She had a blast! She is a true Pisces and just loves the water. I am so glad because I am afraid of the water, so I want to be sure she is comfortable and starts as early as possible.
Some of the things she learned this time around were:
- blow bubbles
- two dives in succession (dolphin dive)
- pull up on the side of the pool
- jump off the castle
- float on her back with floaties on her arms
RT also mentioned that this has been a great bonding opportunity for the two of them. Plus, he gets to learn all these really cutesy cool songs! When these two sing their swim songs and I join in, P tells me, "no Mommy!"
My mom asked me at one point if we were pushing her into doing something she wasn't ready for...take a look at the photos and you be the judge...
