My Little Fish

It has been so exciting to see Anna really grow into her 'fins' this summer as she has gotten so much more comfortable with water and swimming.  I have 'purposed' in teaching her how to swim.  Now I am hardly a good swimmer but I thought I would do my best to help both of my girls get a good start.  See...neither one of my girls have had swim lessons.  Well, that isn't entirely true because Kate has had 8 however, she was 5 and in a class with 10 other 5 year olds for like 30-45 minutes and one teacher.  Honestly, I hardly think that counts as swim lessons but a time to play in the water with your peers and a strange adult.  Anywho, it is my full intention since I know the girls can now go under water, swim without being able to touch, jump off the side going under water, float, and tread water to get them into real swim lessons.  In the meantime I am going to keep working with them.  One of my favorite sights are of my girls with their goggles on.  Actually I think all kids are so darn cute with goggles on because they squish their little faces all together.  Sooooo cute....
