Kate took swim lessons the last week of June. She did awesome!! It built up her confidence so fast. We would go swimming at Mimi and Papa's pool afterwards and she would show us everything she learned.
Now, she swims with a swim belt and is all over the pool. She loves to put a mask and snorkel on and put her head in the water. She has gotten so much better about going under the water. On the 4th of July and the day after, she wanted to take her swim belt off and swim to us. She is doing so well and is swimming farther and farther on her own.
At swim lessons, her teacher had them jump in the water (with their belts on) on their own, and then come up and swim to the other side of the pool. Kate was so much braver than I expected. She asked her teacher to hold her hand, but jumped in and went all the way under (she's not a big fan of that). I was SOOOOOO proud of her!!
We have spent a lot of this summer in the pool. That's about all you can do when it's over 100 degrees everyday! I love that she can swim independently. That frees me up to deal with the fearless Jack Man!
