Swimming Lessons Update!

Well it has been 6 weeks since the girls started swimming lessons. They have come a long way in just these few short weeks. Lilah has gone from needing floaties in the pool to being floatie free!!


She has learned free style, diving, swimming under water, and diving for these rocks at the bottom of the pool...

I'm probably the most proud of her learning the backstroke and swimming it all by herself!

I started to record her swimming, but my battery died in the middle, so maybe in a few more weeks I'll record her again! I think next year she will be ready for swim team! Job well done and we still have about a month left of lessons!

Celeste has really improved A LOT since day one of lessons. She would barely put her head in the water and blow bubbles. Celeste would want to stop her lessons half way through because she didn't want to swim anymore. Now, she is doing great.

Her favorite part is still the goggles! Celeste has learned to kick big splashes with the kick board by herself!

I think she looks so cute in this picture with her tongue out. It looks like she is really concentrating on what she is doing. She has also learned to swim a little ways without floaties! Celeste learned how to float on her back, and again...I just love the way she looks in this picture!

After working hard during her lesson she gets to jump in a few times, and she always smiles while jumping.

Good job Celeste you are doing great!

Some of you might be asking, "Where is baby sister during all this swimming?" Well this is what she does during this long hour...first she splashes her feet in the water until mama gets to hot and wants to go inside.

Next, she tries to play with a dog that has absolutely NO interest in her. She gave the dog a lot of toys but Blue just looked the other way.

And finally, Trinity's favorite part of swimming lessons are the lollipops she gets for doing absolutely nothing!

We sill have a month left of swimming lessons, and I am curious to see how much more they will improve in swimming, diving, and for the little one, lollipop eating. I hope all of you are having a great summer and are trying to stay cool in this 100 degree weather.
