Swimming Lessons

I enrolled Elaina in swimming lessons the first two weeks of June. A couple of her friends were in the same class and they had a blast! They practiced kicking, using their "scoopers" (hands), jumping off the edge and swimming back to the wall, and on the last day they jumped off the diving board.

Jumping off the diving board

Ok, so she was kind of thrown off the diving board, at least it didn't scare her to death, like I thought it would. She still went back again and ended up doing it 3 times! (Each time Elaina would go, Erin was standing beside me saying "Erin's turn. Erin's turn").

Here is a video of my brave little girl!

Elaina and her certificate

Erin and I had fun in the kiddie pool while Elaina did her lessons. We've been swimming almost every day this summer - it's a good way to escape the heat and keep the girls happy, but it wears us all out by the end of the day!
