Swimming

Sophia is signed up for an independent swimming class that starts at the end of April. Independent meaning that she goes into the pool without me. She goes in with 9 other kids.

To get her acclimated to the pool and the locker room, etc... we've decided to start frequenting the indoor pool at the rec center. All four of us went yesterday.

Lilly was slow to warm up at first while I had her on my hip, but when I put her into the water on her belly she started to really enjoy herself. She even tried to swim with her arms a few times.

Sophia and Will went today. Will said that she was jumping into the pool on her own in the shallow end, but of course he was standing right there for her. She also knows how to hold onto the wall and "walk" her way to the steps. She also knows how to walk laps in water up to her shoulders. We're making progress. Only 2 days ago she was sobbing about how much she hates swimming.
