This year we opted for a two week long swim lesson session. Because the only two week block we had open was toward the end of the summer, that's when we had to do it. It was really great. If we had had more time, I would have continued with two more weeks to keep the progress coming.
Taylor really caught on quickly and was bumped up to the next level for next time. Emma is just so timid that she'll continue in the current level. We took them swimming this past weekend and Taylor was so proud of herself. She kept saying things like, "How can I swim now!?!" Emma didn't seem to mind one bit that she couldn't.
The last day of lessons was water safety day. They practiced jumping out of a boat and what to do if someone is in trouble.
I wish this were a better picture, but if you look closely, you can see
that Taylor is having a great time and that Emma would rather be out of
the boat.
This was attempt number two. Emma felt better about things being in the back.
Notice the difference in swimming techniques of the two children?
