Swim Lessons

Ava started swim lessons for the first time three weeks ago and Thursday was her last class.  She was so excited about learning to swim and even more excited that her good friend Luke was going to be in her class.  But about ten minutes into the first session they quickly decided that swim class was not their favorite place to be!

It was so funny to watch them evolve over the three week session. 

Week two Ava actually started enjoying it and she was swimming well under the water.

And this last week she was asking to go to Miss Mimi's house to swim.....

And she and Luke were jumping off the diving board and swimming to the side alone!

She's been swimming without her floaties the last couple of weeks and I'm so proud of the progress she has made.  The beginning of the summer she wouldn't go under the water and now she's swimming around me at the pool!  I love that she loves it and I love that she knows how to swim to "safety."  We are thankful that our good friends referred Miss Mimi :-)
