Swimming Lessons Week Two

When I signed Brookelyn up for swim lessons I thought the classes were for one week--SURPRISE MOM--they are actually for TWO WEEKS...every day..on school days...on tumbling days...on ballet days...on days that Braedyn also has swim lessons...and of course on days that I have to run between 4 and 8 miles in the evening for our marathon training!

However, I do have to say that I have been so proud at the progress Brookelyn is making. She will blow bubbles in the water, jump in to her teacher, float on her back, open her eyes underwater, and loves to participate so much that she always wants to go first.

These two little videos do not do her justice--it is very hard to film with a nap boycotting, squirming, sunscreen-oiled up, little godzilla in your arms!

Here is Brookelyn kicking to the wall--on her previous turn she was putting her face in the water and blowing bubbles, but on that turn I lost the camera battle with godzilla.

Here the teacher is beginning to teach the kids how to put their different skills together rather than just using them in isolation.
