One of the highlights of our summer: swim lessons!
Today is the last day for lessons. As of yesterday, Isabelle can jump into the water, go under and swim back up to the top on her own. (!!!) Pretty impressive considering how she's been a little scared of the water this second week! She is learning to swim on her back, on her tummy, with her arms out & under water. I have had so much fun watching her learn! Isabelle's classes are closed to parents, but I like to peak over the wall and watch while I'm waiting for Madeline's class to start. :)
One of Madeline's favorite parts of swim is jumping into the water! She has also learned to float on her back & kick her legs, she can swim a very short distance to the wall of the pool, hold on & pull herself up (with no help!!). She's also learned to catch the rings under water, blow bubbles & swim with a life jacket on. Madeline has to have a parent in class with her. Mommy did most of the lessons, but Daddy was able to attend two classes with her. :)
Both girls have really enjoyed their swim lessons, even though they were a little scared at times. This last week has been a little harder on Madeline. I think she's just ready to play in the water and not do all of these lessons. :) Today is parents day and I'm hoping to get a few more pictures of my girls! I'm so proud of them!!
