Today was the last day for swim lessons for Vanessa and Jeff. Of course, they were both sad and excited (this is normal for kids, right?): they didn't want the lessons to end, but the last lesson means BIG WATER SLIDE!
It's interesting to note that before lessons, both kids were apprehensive about getting in the water. Sure, we spent a lot of our summer days at our community pool, but those two would usually end up in the kiddie pool, which is all of a foot and a half deep! In fact, it was only this past summer that we actually could get Vanessa to go underwater for a second! Jeff had no problem, but again, it wasn't that deep.
Josie, their instructor, was great! She talked water safety with them, showed them the correct way to enter & exit the pool, and even got them to bob up and down in the water to get their hair wet! The best part is that Vanessa no longer freaks at being in water up to her chest and Jeff can float on his back! They're both so comfortable in the water now, I love it! By this last lesson, they were both begging for more!
I think I'm in trouble this winter, lol!
