We had our first swim lesson today and I think we're going to really enjoy them. Caroline was very excited to go swimming today and jabbered all about swimming on the way to our lesson this morning. It was a little strange putting on boots and coats over our swim suits, not to mention driving through snow to and from, but the indoor pool was nice and warm and our instructor is great.
Miss Monica taught us how to hang on the side of the pool, we worked on getting out of the pool using our elbows and knees, bobbing in the water until it came over our mouth, kicking, and she even went down a small slide into my arms several times. We ended the lesson with fun songs and Caroline did not want to get out of the pool. All in all, a successful first swim lesson.
I obviously couldn't take pictures and be in the water with her, so I took one to mark the occasion once we were back in the locker room getting dressed. I had just told her what a good job she did swimming and then snapped the picture - so her expression shows she was very proud of herself!
