Swimming Lessons


We just finished week 1 of our 3 week swimming session. The first day was rough. Neither child would get in the pool. 

Elizabeth would not get in because she wanted Mommy. Nathan wouldn't get in because he didn't have the same teacher as before. His teacher was outside lifeguarding. When his old teacher came in and told him she had picked these new teachers just for him, he got in just fine and has been doing great. 
Elizabeth would not get in the pool on day 2 either. However, on day 3, Teacher Jen wore a pink swimsuit AND told Elizabeth they would play a fun game to start the lesson. Well, Elizabeth LOVED Teacher Jen's pink swimsuit and was interested in the game. She got in the pool and has been doing fabulously ever since. 
It's so great they both love swimming lessons now after that first rough day!

During Elizabeth's lesson, I sometimes play with Nathan in the pool.
