Swim, Swim, Swim


My girls love to swim, although before we started taking swim lessons, none of them really knew how to swim. Hannah took lessons 2 years ago for our local swim school where the philosophy was dunk and learn. She did learn how to swim after her classes but it didn't stick. So, this year, I had to have my kids learn to swim, I couldn't go to the pool with 3 kids not able to fend for themselves.

Well, both Hannah and Ella love their swim classes. They have both graduated to the next level and Hannah finally knows how to swim. They love that they both have a "gold medal" and both got to ring the bell. Hannah has informed me many times that she likes this swim teacher way better than her last swim teacher. They love it so much that they play swim class when they take a bath. They will be in the bath for over an hour and Hannah teaches Ella different swimming tasks she learned that week.

It has been so good that we have decided to extend the lessons just a bit longer. When it makes everyone so happy, might as well keep it up! P.S. Ella's look isn't because she is scared, she was freezing. I made her stand out there while I tried to find my camera... mean mom :-)
