Lexi's First Day of Swim Lessons

Today was Lexi's first day of swim lessons.

She is the Clown Fish Class with her cousin Parker.

(It's just the second class above the Mommy and Me class, it's for kids 3-5 years old) .

It's so fun that they could do swim lessons together!
I had to get a few pictures of them before they got in the pool.

Parker didn't understand why I had to take pictures, he'll get used to it soon enough.

 Cute. 

A hugging picture!

Avery was so upset that I didn't bring her swimsuit and that she wasn't getting into the pool.

She took off her dress and eventually shoes and refused to let me put them back on her.

Next time, she will be wearing a onesie.

Here they are already for class to start.

Lexi looks so serious.

She get shy and a little stressed in new situations and around unfamiliar people.

But she warmed up and did great with her new teacher.

 Lexi and Parker stayed by each other pretty much the whole time.

They were so well behaved. When it wasn't their turn for one-on-one time with the teacher, 

they just sat on the steps while the other kids splashed and wondered off the steps.

Lexi did great. 

She seemed to be enjoying herself and seemed to be pretty comfortable in the water.

Her teacher did say that Lexi need to work on kicking.

She needs to kick from her hips. Right now her legs are a little tense.

Parker did good too. He only got water in his mouth/ nose once.

Michelle said he's improved a lot since last summer.

The have lessons Monday, Wednesday and Friday for the next few weeks.
It will be fun to watch them learn and improve!
 

 For fun here's the post I did about Lexi's first day of swim lessons last June.
 

Video's From Lexi's First Swim Lesson

Here's Lexi learning to blow bubbles...

Lexi when I first tried to get her to jump into the pool.

She did not want to let go of my hands.

Jumping in the pool was her favorite.

She want to do it again and again.

And eventually she let go of my hands and just jumped in.

You can hear Avery crying in the background for me. She was not enjoying just watching.

And FYI this is my 6th post today. Yeah, it's been a busy blogging morning. Enjoy!

Lexi's First Swim Lesson

I decided to sign both of the girls up for swim lessons.

They both love taking a bath but scared in the pool, well the big pool that is.

They both LOVE the kiddie pool where they can stand and touch the bottom.

Anyway, yesterday was Lexi's first swim lesson.

She was so excited!

Here's some pictures of her before we left for the pool...

I love this picture of Lexi even though her head is cut out.

She caught me off guard when she jumped with joy and excitement.

Lexi was so excited to see her friend Jaylen at the pool.

He is already 3 so he was in the preschool class.

I signed Lexi up just weeks before she turned 3 so she was in the Mommy and Me class.

Which I think is better for her because she is so uncomfortable in the big pool.

Lexi learned to blow bubbles in the water, worked on her kicking, even went under the water for the first time and jumped into the pool.

I do realize that these are all things that I could do with Lexi by myself outside of class but

I think it's nice to have a time set a part just for swim lesson and

it's good for her to see other kids learning to swim too.

I was so proud of Lexi.

She faced some fears and has already improved.

I hope that continues again tonight.
