first swim lesson

Pre-lesson…she was excitedIMG_2832

she found some rocks to play in while we were waiting for DaddyIMG_2836

It all started out well…she went over and got in the pool with her teachers. IMG_2838

After about 3 minutes we were brought over to sit near the pool because she was upset and crying.

We got her back in the poolIMG_2840IMG_2841

She (kind of) kicked on the kickboardIMG_2842

and that was really about it. She cried for nearly the entire forty minutes.

We are going to have our work cut out for us for the next 3 days and four days next week. She has promised me that she is going to put her face in and blow bubbles tomorrow for her teacher. The thing is…I know she can do it! For whatever reason, she is just super shy with new people and has a lot of trouble separating from me. I almost think it’s worse because she knows that I am there. My goal for us for this swim class is just get her comfortable being in the class and doing the activities with the teachers. Luckily we have some super sweet and very patient teachers to work with.

If anyone has any great suggestions for us, I would love to hear!
