We signed the girls up to take swimming lessons for another two weeks this summer. This time the lessons are in the evenings. Twice they have been rained out, and we are making up those lessons this week. They both are doing well. Phoebe has become braver and is having lots of fun this time. She even jumped off the diving board, with a life jacket on, all by herself twice last night! Sarah is able to swim longer distances and is improving on holding her breath for longer amounts of time. She jumped off of the high diving board twice!
Me: What is your favorite thing to do at swimming lessons?
Phoebe: "Slide down the slide, going off the diving board. I like making soup." (Phoebe's class used their hands in the pool to add ingredients then they used their hands to mix up the soup in the water, then eat the soup... all pretend play.)
Sarah: "Going off the diving board, and the slide, and the yellow slide. The yellow slide because it is kind of up in the air. Then you just shoot off the slide onto the water."
Me: What do you want to get better at doing in the swimming pool?
Phoebe: "Jumping off the diving board"
Sarah: "Bobbing, putting my face in, and holding my breath."
Me: Where has been your favorite place that we have gotten to go swimming, so far, this summer?
Phoebe: "swimming lessons" (Haysville pool)
Sarah: "The place with the ropes" (Hotel we stayed at in Tulsa, Oklahoma)
