Swim Lessons

Avery just finished a 2 week swim lessons class at Wirth Aquatic Center in Brookfield. She really liked it this year. Made a few improvements over last year, but she still has a ways to go before she can “swim” by herself.

There she is in her pink goggles.

One day they practiced safety procedures and they got to jump in with lifejackets on.

And on the last day they did “fun” stuff like jumping off the diving board into the deep end (they catch the kids). Sometimes I tell Avery that I’m going to call her Bravery. Because she has a hard time being brave sometimes. She would not jump in.

So finally they lowered her off the diving board into the teacher’s arms. Sigh.

 

Didn’t even get her hair wet. After that ordeal, I thought there was no way she was going to slide down the big waterslide.

But she did it! Good girl.

Camryn and I had fun watching her every day for 2 weeks. Luckily Cam is great at independent play. She would pull a couple pennies out of my purse and play with them for the whole half hour. Cute girl.
