Hannah and Lillian have been taking swim lessons all summer. Hannah is actually really enjoying them and I have really noticed an improvement. She is actually liking the water this year and asks every day to go swimming. She likes her teacher "Miss Leaf" and minds very well. After taking "Mom and Tot" classes last year I learned that Hannah will not learn or participate if I am around. This year, she swims and I sit up in the observation deck where she cannot see me! We were apprehensive at the beginning of summer and wouldn't even ride on Leaf's back when it was Lillian's turn, but now she is kicking, using her arms, swimming underwater to the side, and jumping in to Miss Leaf.
This has been such a positive experience and I am enjoying watching Hannah improve and enjoy something. I plan on continuing these lessons indefinitely. It is very important that both of my children know how to swim.
