Swimming Lessons

What a difference a year makes when it comes to swimming lessons!  Charley went two weeks this year, and she was amazing!  I couldn’t be happier with Brendan Sweetman Swimmers and am a firm believer that she could save her life if she fell into water.  I plan to take her every year until she “graduates” from the program!  This summer she mastered rolling onto her back, didn’t cry one time the second week of classes and starting learning to blow bubbles to swim....and taking her to the pool post lessons has been so much fun...practically a different child!  A big special thanks goes to Amma for being able to take her to most of the classes this summer...and another exciting milestone was being invited in to watch for the last week!

Just to confirm that she is learning something, Charley’s baby doll’s, stuffed animals, and bath toys have all been to Charley’s Swimming Lessons!  In a firm voice I hear, “head back...arms out...legs straight...belly up...don’t kick!”  It is so cute to watch her “teaching” everyone how to swim.  My favorite night was in the bath and her little squirt toy had just finished a floating lesson and Charley lifted her out of the water and looked her right in the face and said, “I’m just so proud of you!”  I’d say that pretty much sums up the way we feel about Charley and the pool this year, “I’m just so proud of you, baby girl!"
