Swim Lessons

I signed Hayley up for a 2 week swim class through City of Mesa this summer. It was something fun to get us out of the house and it helped her feel more comfortable with the water.She did great on Day 1 and didnt cry until they made her lay back and try to float in the water.
Day 2 was horrible. She cried the entire 35 minutes but I stayed positive and got her excited to go back the next day.

After that, she did just fine. She got to take the class with her friend, David.

Here she is, happy to be at swim lessons.

They made up a song to "Ring Around the Rosie" that ended with, "Splashes, splashes, we all go under!" Hayley never was brave enough to go under with the rest of the kids but she really liked the song.

She loved her swim teachers, Ryan and Tyler. I think this was the last day of her lessons.

Concentrating and NOT crying. :)

It was a successful two week program. They didnt teach her how to swim but I got what I paid for. :) Within the past week, Ive been working with Hayley in my parents' pool and she is already swimming on her own. She isnt very good at it yet but she is getting better each day.

So proud of my girly and all of the things she is learning and doing!
