Sarah was in swimming lessons in June. There were about five kids in her class and two teachers that helped them practice things like kicking their feet and legs, moving their arms, floating on their backs, jumping in, and the biggie.... holding their breath and putting their faces/heads in the water.
The first couple days she was very excited to go swimming.... One day though, she was nervous and didn't want to go, even shed a few tears.... She told us later she didn't want to put her face in the water and one boy that was sitting on the side of the pool next to her kept splashing her.
The last day however, she was a rockstar! She held her breath and put her face in repeatedly, she kicked her legs like a crazy, and she floated on her back several times with no assistance! Each time she floated on her back all by herself she couldn't stop smiling!
Now, she is loving the water and swimming! We may have a little summer fish on our hands. Look out pools, here comes Sarah!
