Swimming Lessons

2 of our teachers

Alayna and I (along with Mommy and Daddy) have been taking swimming lessons for the last 6 weeks. This class is also through the Tosa Rec Dept. It's 30 mins long and we are learning how to be comfortable with the water along with some basic swimming lessons. We learned to kick, blow bubbles, "reach and pull" (aka - front crawl), float on our backs, jump in the pool, etc Every lesson we sing songs and work on all our different techniques, swim after toys (rubber ducks, etc) and have LOTS of fun. This was my second session (I did it last year) and Alayna's first. I am like a fish....Alayna's getting there. My teacher would often use me as her demo kid b/c she knew I wouldn't mind being away from Mommy or Daddy. Occasionally I would think I was doing a little better than reality and push away from Mommy or jump in before Daddy was quite ready - but my smile doesn't get much bigger than when I'm swimming :)
