A few weeks ago Rachel had her first go at swim lessons. And I was very impressed at how she handled them. She is not a fan of getting her face wet, whether it's a simple splash or water dripping down from her hair. But she had a fabulous swim teacher who was so sweet with her. Rachel is now a pro at blowing bubbles and is pretty good about putting her face in the water. She can float on her back and kicks like a champ. She loves her goggles and will put her face in the water to fetch sinkable fish at the pool. I have signed her up for another session of lessons that will start next week. This will be a 2-week session. I want to keep her busy this summer and help her continue to gain confidence in the water. Hopefully it will be another positive experience! :)
Kick, kick, kick... Rachel's swim teacher said that Rachel is quite the kicker. She was pulling the other kids along, but she wasn't pulling Rachel through the water. As soon as Rachel decides to be brave, she'll be quite the swimmer!
