The girls finished up their second session of swim lessons today. They both had a lot of fun! The Herrig kids took lessons with us this session....Molly & Myles were in the same group and Kelly was with Madison & Ana. It worked out great.....as Jen and I could talk (without minimal interruption) the entire swim lesson! Molly & Myles ALWAYS seemed to have to go to the bathroom during swim lessons....and not at the same time! Overall, it was fun for the Moms and kids!
Two 3 year olds - Myles & Molly were in tadpole
Ana, Kelly, and Madison were all in jellyfish together
Taylor trying to convince Molly to put her face in the water!!! Molly would blow bubbles great, but doesn't want to get her eyes wet. It took a lot of convincing....
....and she would then do it ONCE....but whined & cried and wiped the water away quickly!
Trying again! She would just LOOK at the water forever...
....so we tried goggles....but she still doesn't want to put her face in the water!
She LOVED every other part of lessons....kicking...
....swimming with big arms...
...and backstroke.
As long as it didn't involve getting her eyes wet....SHE LOVED IT!

Hugs for TITTLE!!!
Kelly continued to work on her freestyle. It improved, but we have to keep working on her breathing.
Here she is one of the first lessons (there were 8 total this session)....and they have both had 16 lessons within the last 2.5 months. She was getting her entire head out of water to breathe.
Getting ready to breathe....
...and breathing. Her head didn't come out as far as when she started. She is improving....and doing great! She's not even 6 years old yet!!!
Kelly LOVES backstroke!
**Kelly swam at least 4 lengths - 25 yards each - of both backstroke and freestyle at every lesson!
Diving! She really improved her diving these two sessions of lessons.
