First Swim Lesson

I had my first swim lesson today at the city pool.  There were 5 kiddos in my class.

That's my teacher, next to me, showing us how to practice our kicking.  

She helped me with my arms while I did all the kicking...

And helped me float on my back, and told me silly jokes to make me laugh.  

I loved it!  





Mom thought it was funny that this was the way she got us from the shallow end to the deep end.  We would all hang on to her and kick our legs, and she'd walk down into the deep end.

I was so excited to be in the water on my own!  While the teacher was helping the other students, I would go underwater while hanging onto the wall, making Mom freak out because I would stay under for so long.  You can see me doing it at the beginning of this video.  Also on the video is me floating on my back (with assistance), playing ring around the rosey, picking up a ring from the bottom of the pool, and jumping off the platform.  I'm a happy little fish!
