Swimming Lessons

Addysen took swimming lessons in April and then Addysen, Ainsley and I took swimming lessons in May. Addysen was in a new class in April and it was difficult for her, but she improved so much in the 2 months that she was taking lessons. We are so proud of her, she worked so hard and enjoyed every minute of it. By the end of the May session she was able to swim on her back all the way across the pool, swim under water, learned the freestyle stroke, how to go to the bottom of the pool for rings and is trying to learn how to dive off the side of the pool (which she hasn't quite mastered yet, but it won't be long!) 

she's pretty pumped that she has goggles this year!
There she is, diving into the water.  She was able to do it the first couple of times, until she belly flopped.  Now she is scared to do it... I know if she keeps practicing, she'll get it.
look, she found the ring!
ready to jump off the lifeguard stand.
Ainsley and I took the Mommy and me class in May and we had a good time.  She did a great job and she improved a lot over the month with kicking her feet, using her arms, jumping into the water and putting her head under water.  I think we have 2 little fish on our hands, they love to swim!
