Swimming Lessons

We decided to line up private swimming lessons for Chloe this summer. I thought this would be a great age for her to have some one-on-one time with someone and make some progress in the water. She did great! I was very proud of how she walked right in and got in the water.....even though she was meeting her teachers for the first time. She went for 30 minutes, Monday-Friday.....so five days of lessons. Although she is not swimming by herself, Kevin and I felt like our money was well spent for the instruction she got and the continued increase in her comfort in the water that we see.

Here she was on Monday afternoon as we headed off to swimming lessons. And you can see Claire in the background.......Claire was such a trooper that week. She never cried about not being able to swim and she fell asleep in her seat every afternoon while Chloe had lessons. I was proud of her too!

Friday was the only day that we went in to watch. Monday-Thursday, I took Chloe in and went back to sit in the car (so as not to distract with my presence). On Friday, her lesson was moved to the morning, so Mommy, Daddy, and Claire went too. We all went in to watch for the last 10 or so minutes of her lesson. She was excited to show us what she had learned.

*Side note: I didn't crop this picture on purpose......check out this fabulous pool! I took this picture from under this huge cabana that sits by the pool......complete with a full kitchen, flat-screen TV, changing room/bathroom, cushy outdoor seating, and beautiful decor! Wow!

Chloe and Miss Mandy before we left........see you next year!
