LaNea attended her first day at swim lessons this morning. We had so much fun trying to get her to do the different things that were asked. She has no problem floating on her stomach but she hated to be on her back. We might have to have her practice more during her baths.
She loved the game of throw the duckie and then swim to get it. More she loved when the teacher would stand next to us and cheer her on but she enjoyed chasing her duckie too.
The only other big problem we faced was when she tried to teach them how to push off from the wall. She couldn't grasp the concept of holding on to the wall while getting ready to push off. When the teacher wanted them to move around on the wall, LaNea did great. She could move quickly all by herself but I kept having to stop her from climbing out. 
So overall we had so much fun and LaNea did amazing. We'll go each day for the rest of this week and then Tuesday thru Friday of the week after. Don't expect her to be a swimmer by the end but I hope we'll both just feel more comfortable with her in the water.

Yay for the swimmer. I can't believe she is old enough to start learning to swim. CRAZY.July 29, 2011 at 3:29 PMI can't believe she's big enough for swim lessons. She's going to be quite the swimmer starting so young. She looks like she's having a great time. She is happy in every photo you post.
