The Little Mermaid

Last summer and the one before Landry expressed an interest in swimming lessons. This summer when she expressed interest again we went and signed up. Yay! Landry really enjoyed the lessons and truly learned from them.

Day 1

Getting acquainted with the water and instructor.

Practicing kicking.

A little floating.

Swimming to the wall...

and back to the instructor.

Day 1 was about getting acquainted with the pool and instructors. It was also a chance for the instructors to see how the kids were in the water and what skills they may already have.

Day 2

Given that Landry has been exposed to being in a swimming pool since she was 2 and had some basic swimming skills she was put in the advanced beginner level. 

In this picture and the next Landry is practicing kicking, holding her breath and swimming with her face in the water all at the same time.

Floating with a little help.

Floating on her own!

 

Day 3

A little more floating then she got vertical in the water and swam back to the wall.

Day 4

I'm not sure I took pictures from days 5 and 6. Overall swimming lessons were a total success. Landry had a blast while learning to swim. As you can tell from the videos Landry took at an indoor pool. This means swimming lessons are offered year round. We'll definitely be taking more swimming lessons in the future!
