Serenity and Rayna's swimming lessons were a success, they passed! We weren't sure if they would because they hate getting their faces wet, but what they won't do for us they will do for a perfect stranger LOL! At first Serenity cried a bit before each lesson but soon she got the idea that I would be there the entire time and the teacher would not try to drown her!
She also shook her face back and forth in the water whenever she blew bubbles, but she blew them!
We are so proud of her for facing her fears!
Rayna got lucky and no one else showed up for her class so she got private lessons!
She goofed around and giggled through most of her lessons.
When asked what she thought the 'no diving' sign meant, she said, "it means the teacher will catch you if you fall in on your face" LOL! Very trusting!
When I asked them if they wanted to take swimming lessons again this summer they said, "YES!" Yeah, now I just have to find a good time! I think learning to swim is an essential life skill, just like driving, so I insist that my kids learn both of these things. Can you think of any other essential life skills?
