Since Emma and I are just hanging out for a couple of weeks, I thought I'd try some private swim lessons for her and see how she does. She's been doing a "Parent and Tot" class which she enjoys, but we thought we'd see if she can actually understand and follow instructions well enough to make a class worthwhile. Anyhow, she did GREAT! She loved it and she followed all instructions perfectly and by the end of the lesson, was going from one end of the pool to the other by herself, just holding on to a noodle and kicking away. The instructor said she's sure she'll be swimming by the time she's 3 - she understands and she has no fear! In the pics, you can see her going underwater, doing a starfish and "swimming" with the noodle.

She is just so smart! She has been above the curve since the beginning. I am so impressed! (with you and her!)
Wow, Emma your one brave little fish...way to go big girl!!!
Wow!! What a great little swimmer! You can tell by the noodle pic how relaxed she is in the water. Way to go Emma!
Cool!! Excellent swimming Emma! Makes me want to get into the pool myself (although after a couple of kicks here and there, I'm pretty much done).
By the way, cool rockets that the boys made!

Excellent job and great pictures of Emma swimming. Deanna loves the water too, our only hold back is it takes her 3 or 4 lessons to get used to the instructor enough to let them hold her, position her, etc. Then for the last few lessons she does great, on the noodles, dunking, etc. However, I think we'll do a few more parent participation lessons over the next year, and keep working on her getting used to being with a teacher.
