Aubree's Swim Lessons

I must say that a month ago, Aubree would not take off her arm floats to swim. She was scared to death to swim without them. Ryan and I both tried to get her to swim to us and she would get so frustrated and upset that we were making her swim without them. She took swim lessons last year so I signed her up again. She had two weeks of swim lessons and I am so impressed with how much she has learned and how well she is doing. She has no fear of the water, which is scarey for me because she jumps in and swims as far as she can with one breath. She hasn't learned how to come up for air and continue on so we have been working on that with her. She now loves to swim and she even drives down to the bottom of the pool to pick up objects. She says that she is a big girl now and that when she turns 6, she will be able to swim in the deep end. Laci will start swim lesson next year and she already thinks she can swim. She is a mess! As a mother, it is very comforting to know that your child can swim so if she was to fall into a pool, she knows what to do. We just hope that Laci catches on next year as fast as Aubree has.
