Swimming!!

Kennedy started swim lessons in May, and she loved it at first, wasn't so sure about it for a bit, and now loves it again.  I am not pushing her to become a pro swimmer, I really just want her to not have a fear of water and be comfortable with water.  I also want her to know some of the safety things they're teaching her, such as if you come in off the wall you immediately go to grab the wall, or if you fall in the water you can immediately turn over to your back and float.

She loves the songs we sing, and enjoys floating on her back and kicking her legs.  She isn't such a huge fan of pushing herself off the wall when sitting on it to come to me, but she's getting there.  She is also getting better at grabbing the wall on her own from in the pool if I let go of her.

Now, since I am in the pool with her I don't have a lot of photos, just those from when my parents come to watch.  So here are a few from one session, this was during the time she wasn't 100% sold on some of the things we were doing, and we had JUST started going under the water too.














We'll be doing lessons as long as she'll tolerate them, so I think that will be awhile.
