Swimming Lessons

Lily just completed two weeks of swimming lessons and I am amazed how well she can swim. She took lessons from a well known lady here in Macon and she is no joke! She knows what she's doing and she gets these kids to swim! The first week was a bit rough with lots of tears. She wasn't freaking out like some of the other kids, but she would follow instructions with tears and sobs. Heartbreaking for a mom to watch, but I need her to be safe in the water this summer. By the middle of the second week, she was excited to go to her lessons and see Mrs. Julie. The last day, Lily jumped off the diving board, swam over to the ladder under water and got out all by herself. It was amazing!

Parents had to stay inside the pool house and squint through blinds to see. The last day, one of the other mom's snuck outside and took some pictures of the kids with her nice camera.

Wow! That is so awesome! I can't believe that she jumped off the diving board and swam to the edge on her own! Yehaw! She is going to be a pro at the beach.
