A few weeks ago Jaime told me she was in search of a swimming boot camp for the Bigs. She did some great research and decided on Stony Creek Swim Center. And of course I followed suit and signed Izzy up for the Puffer Fish class, where they promised our children would be able to swim 2-3 feet underwater and front and back floats. Just what Iz needed, as we spend nearly every day at the pool in the summer.
The first class Izzy was a bit timid; she didn't know how to blow bubbles out her nose (heck, she can't even blow her nose!) and was hesitant about putting her face in the water.
Floating and jumping were easy peasy for her, though.
By day 2 she was putting her face in the water while swimming. And by day 3 she was diving for rings. I was floored. Her confidence built quickly and her desire to try out her new skills grew each day.
The last day of her lessons she showed off all of her new skills...
Swimming with her face submerged
Diving for rings
Izzy girl is on her way to becoming a great swimmer one day. In the meantime, we'll keep practicing all her new skills. And as Izzy say (so does Nemo) "Just keep swimming, just keep swimming!"
