Learning to swim

Since we have a neighborhood pool, I feel that it is so important for our kids to learn the basics of swimming. I want them to be able to keep themselves afloat without a flotation device.

Kaitlyn got "swim lessons" as a birthday present this year. So twice a week, this month, we are at the pool. She LOVES it! She did SO well too!!!! She listened to her coach, sat and waited her turn in the water, and did great in the water!

Here's some pictures and short videos of Kaitlyn's first swim lessons:

kick, kick, kick, kick!

 Here's some videos from Kaitlyn being in the water. They are real short.

after class. I don't think she had any fun ;)

We swim on Tuesdays and Thursdays. It definitely was a nice break in our afternoon. Looking forward to tomorrows class :) It was so fun to watch!
