Swim Lessons

Gwen just finishing her first swimming lessons! She went for 3 weeks, 4 days a week, for 10 minutes each lesson. It's amazing how much Pam Young teaches them in this amount of time. I was hesitant putting Gwen in lessons because she's not even two yet. I wondered if she would retain anything she learned. With the pool in our backyard I figured we better do it. I'm so glad I did! She cried almost every lesson. It was mainly a separation thing. She would point to me sitting on the side of the pool and yell "mommy", like save me! By week three she was more comfortable with Pam and was conquering the swimming skills. Pam taught her to float on her back, dive under to pick up rings, grab the wall, and jump into the pool. We are so proud of Gwen! She has gained so much confidence in the water since her lessons. Going under the water is not an issue anymore. She loves it! Thanks Pam!
"Motor boat, motor boat"...

Floating all by herself!



Here's Gwen showing off her new skills...




She is a little fish!

  1. I want to do swim lessons so bad with Mayc but I am worried it will give her a complex or something with the water? Gwen is a little pro swimmer, I love all the pics! Lets get together this summer ( I know we say that all the time but I really do want to)
