Graduation!
Taylor completed her swimming lessons today and got her certificate! She has lots of fun in the water now and only gets upset when we try to get her out of the pool. I got in the water with her today to learn some techniques to use at home. She's a really strong little girl and will push off of you in the water to start floating by herself. I'm looking forward to a fun filled summer putting our pool to good use!
If any of you reading this have kiddos I strongly urge you to look into a program like the one we used. They teach children from 6 months of age and up how to hold their breath, how to float, and when old enough, how to swim to safety. While this will never replace proper supervision around the water, it helps to know that your child has a skill they can use if needed. And though I hope she'll never have to rescue herself, she will also never remember a time when she wasn't comfortable in the water. It's just so neat for me to see her in the pool, smiling and laughing, and wanting to swim and play. Here are some photos of her lessons. If I can figure it out I will post some videos as well.
