Swimming Lessons


Madison just finished her first set of swimming lessons for the summer. We enrolled her in a "jump-start" session with private lessons with Ms. Larissa. It was great. She loved the water, got swimming much more than ever before and by Wednesday was trying to jump off the edge away from her teacher (making me nervous from behind the viewing gate)...All in all totally worth it. She was swimming to the edge by herself and starting to use her scoopers (arms) and kickers more correctly!! Hopefully we will have a chance to practice these skills before her next set of lessons in August, which are semi-private.
Both her mommy and Auntie Katie were fish when we grew up, so I think it is in her genes!

Definitely in her genes! Her Auntie Kelly was on the Figarden Dolphins swim team! Now...her father on the other hand...used to pretend to be asleep in the pool so ...let's hope she doesn't inherit THAT little trait!
