I am taking private swimming lessons with Miss Emily at the YMCA. Today was my first day. I was totally anxious as usual but I really wanted to make my teacher proud. At first I didn’t want to come off the steps but she really had a way to move me. She just talked about animals and silly bandz! (I think Mommy prepped her as to what I really like to talk about right now). Within 15 minutes I was off and going. I was practicing kicks while holding onto a floating bar. I went the entire length of the pool after just a few tries and a little support from my teacher.
On the way back she had me try some “scoops”. Basically strokes with one hand while holding the floating bar with the other. I really was good at that!!!
I tried super hard because I know that once I can show enough skills I am done with lessons and I can swim at my friends houses this summer.
I was so proud of all my hard work. I am exhausted though!
