1st Swim Lesson

Lauryn and her good friend Ashlyn just started swimming lessons a couple of weeks ago at Peninsula Swim School. A bit of background: Lauryn hated getting water in her face during her baths. She'd scream and cry. When we signed up for swimming, she told me that she'd be able to learn to swim without getting her face wet. OK....

So for their 1st lesson, the teacher basically said hi to them and then dunked them in the water! I don't think they even had time to think about it. During lesson #2, Lauryn had a bit of a setback when she got water up her nose.

Lesson #3 was much better with new goggles that fit better and a few times on the "water" slide.

Then an amazing thing happened at Ashlyn's swim party last weekend. They both just decided to swim on their own! Christine and I were in shock!

Lauryn has declared swimming her most favorite thing.
