Swimming Progress

Tuesday, August 2, 2011

On July 7th, we began swim lessons. Needless to say, it was rough going right at first. The first lesson involved her screaming and crying the entire time. All I could do was laugh - this was for her own good. The next lesson went a bit better. She still fighted being on her back, but everything else improved a lot. Lesson three was great! She didn't fight being on her back at all, as long as her head was on my shoulder and I was supporting her. Yesterday's lesson was recorded. My MIL came and took pictures and video. Kaylee is starting to kick, which is really cool! What a difference a few lessons make...


Practicing being on her back - with distraction. :)~

Gliding and grabbing for toys.

Climbing out of the pool, almost by herself.. She's a strong Nooblet!

Practicing her "monkey walks" along the wall.

"Oh yea, Ma... I got this!"

Submersion!

Wrapped up in her towel after the lesson.. just sitting there, waiting for me to finish drying off. 
Such a good girl!

I don't think she looks like a 1 year old... it's weird!

You're so lucky that she doesn't fling herself in, regardless of ability. =)

Hahaha I'm guessing Frances does? :p Kaylee isn't walking yet, so that *might* have something to do with it... hehe She does love climbing in and out of her kiddie pool though.
