Ellie's first swim lesson!

Today was Ellie's first swim lesson! As I expected she did amazing! She was in the water before we got Emma off her chair and floating like a champ. Emma is taking lessons as well and this is the first time in all her lessons she had fun- once she was in the water that is. Thank heavens for the new teacher my friend Nikki recommended! She is amazing,

 All ready to go!

 

 Ellie and her teacher.

 

 Keeping Emma company on the step...

 

 Learning freestyle arms...

 

 Kicking and paddling- on day 1!

 

 Emma is starting to have fun...

 

 She even gets brave enough to jump off the side!

 

 When class is done they let the kids have a few minutes to float around and play in the pool.

 

Ellie was all over this- she was kicking her way to the other side of the pool when her teacher caught her tube. She is so strong and fearless!

 

We have 2 more weeks of lessons and it looks like it will be worth it. Both girls are doing awesome so far!
