Swimming Lessons


Well, we are wrapping up another summer, and that means we have one more level of swim lessons completed! The girls were both in swim lessons this year without a parent. YAY! O was in parent and tot this year. The girls loved their teachers. This was the first year we have been in classes that were this full. Tori has always been a little bit hesitant when in comes to water (and almost everything else). This year was totally different. Liz wasn't afraid of anything, and Tori was bent on topping everything that her sister did. Tori was so proud to be going under water by herself. Then Liz started going under for several seconds at a time. Let the contest begin! Every time Liz learned to do something, Tori did it better. Liz didn't really care, she was just happy to be doing it. The whole thing was fun to watch, especially as the weeks went on. The highlight for both girls was definitely the last day of lessons when they got to go down the water slide!






Owen--well...he was definitely a fish in another life. He learned very quickly to blow bubbles, kick, and even pull with his arms. Going under the water was a treat for him, but nothing compared to being able to go in the water without being held. The baby pool was his "happy place!"










Next year Tori will be a starfish, Liz will be a guppy, and O will be... with me again.
