Swimming Lessons

Sydney and Shaylee recently started taking swimming lessons. Even though they are at different levels - they are in the same class, which means less running for mommy! There is one other little boy in their class - so their coach can spend time working with each of them individually at their own level.

They often use these noodles during class to aid in their swimming. This picture is a bit blurry - but I wanted to include it since Shaylee was doing such a good job of swimming and putting her face in the water!

Working on the backfloat and some kicking exercises.

At the end of their lesson they get to have a little fun time. They usually put a mat in the water and take it for a boat ride down the length of the pool. They use their noodles to paddle, and when they want they can jump off. Then they can swim back if they want. The girls are really enjoying their lessons and both becoming more confident in the water. I'm excited for them!
