First swim lesson

Monday, April 9th we started swim lessons. Sydney is taking them at The Center at Bishop park. She ha been nervous about what they expect her to do and she has been asking a lot of questions leading up to this day. Initially when she got in the water she was okay and happy but when it was one on one with the teacher she clammed up and got teary eyed! Her teacher Ms. Emily was so sweet and patient with her and let her hang on her for a little while and let Sydney watch the other kids in the group practice.

 She started to relax and tried what Ms. Emily asked her to do!

 Having a blast now! Enjoying the company of her friend Sydney Burnett.

 Practicing kicking and swimming arms.

 At the end of the lesson each kid got to jump off the side of the pool into the pool to Ms. Emily. I was surprised to see Sydney jump. She really opened up so fast. I was excited to see her learning new things and not scared to try something she hasn't done before! One proud momma!

Ms. Emily is so patient and very diligent about keeping her eyes on her group! She even saved a little girl in another group that was going under! We are thankful to have her as our teacher!!!
