WHAT AN IMPROVEMENT from the first class till this 3rd class. She only cried a few times and held her breath EVERY time she went under water. It's amazing how fast they learn. I guess some of you may not know that maddie has been taking swimming lessons for 3 weeks now. We go once a week for 4 weeks at a time. I will probably sign her up for july's lessons b/c I am so impressed with how well she is doing. The first 2 classes she SCREAMED the entire class...which is to be expected. The second class she screamed almost the entire class and this time she only cried a few times (mainly when the teacher held her) and even voluntarily went down the slide (which she hasn't wanted to do in the past). I kept telling her "you did soooo good" on the way home today and she said "I DID GOOD!....HIGH FIVE!" haha.
she always gets upset at this part....all they are doing is looking into a mirror in the middle of this floating mat and she gets upset.
working on her kicks!
floating on her back
going down the slide
she doesn't care for this part...being away from mommy is tough :)
teaching her to use the wall to get around the pool
"1...2...3...bubbles" -this is where we tell them to hold their breath b/c they are going under water.
The teacher dropped rings at the bottom of the pool and maddie was about to go down to get one.
and she did it!! Pink ring, of course :)
