Swimming Lessons

Kaylee
My littlest daughter, Kaylee has had two sets of swimming lessons now. Which we thank my husband Nathans' grandfather for finding and signing her up for them :)

She went through the YMCA in our area both times and she has done a wonderful job!! We are so very proud of her for going from being scared to go in without her floaties to not ever wanting to wear them! I couldn't believe the confidence that the lessons gave her, it was truly a fun and exciting experience for Nathan and I as much as it was for Kay, and she was the one taking the lessons.

Her first set of lessons was indoors at our YMCA and were in the spring time. They taught her things I didn't even think of like what to do when you hear thunder or see lightening and what to do if they would see someone in the water in trouble. They made the kids aware of their strengths as well as their weaknesses too which I thought was great. What i mean is they taught them that they are strong enough to help someone in need in the water but not quite strong enough to help them themselves, and that what they needed to do to help is to get an adult, things like that. To be honest, when I thought about the lessons it didn't even cross my mind they were going to teach them these things. 

Her second classes were more recently this summer and were held at our local outdoor community pool before hours. These lessons were more of a hands on swimming experience and she did wonderful!! I definitely recommend to get your toddler swimming lessons if you are able to. It was great for her and she is like a little fish, she loves the water!!! 

Anyways, again we are so proud of her!! way to go Kaykay!!! :)
