swimming lessons

Jump to Comments

Tonight was my first night at swimming lessons.  Sorry, mom doesn’t have any pictures yet, but I’m sure there will be some soon.  Good thing she didn’t have her camera on her tonight.  Soon you will understand why.  I have been super excited about going to swimming lessons.  And when we got to the pool today, I was wired!!  The other parents thought I was a riot.  Mr. Personality, one of them called me.  Mom said I was being a bit of a show off.  I was just being me.  So, the teacher came and gathered us up and we headed to the pool.  She put on this really cool belt that was to help keep me afloat.  We got in the water and blew bubbles, kicked our feet, and attempted to float on our backs.  I wasn’t too cool with the floating thing.  I really didn’t have any desire to lay my head in the water.  Maybe I will get over that soon.  Also, when it came to the kicking, my body would not go straight.  I kicked totally crooked.  Not sure what that was about.  So, anyway, on to the good part.  We were supposed to be sitting on the step while the teacher helped us one by one float on our backs.  Of course, I am not real good at the whole sitting still thing.  So, I decided that I would try this swim thing on my own and put my face in the water.  Great idea, until my feet came out from under me and I couldn’t get them back under me and couldn’t get my face out of the water and the teacher was working with one of the other kids.  No worries, everyone…Mom came flying in the pool, work clothes and all.  She scooped me up and out of the pool before I even knew what was going on.  Thank goodness Dad was there to talk some sense into her.  She was ready to take me home, but Dad insisted that I finish my lesson.  And I wanted to go back in, so it was cool.  On the way home, I told Mom I was just trying to swim with my face in the water.  I guess it will take some time to figure that out.  But I think Mom might wear her swimsuit for the next class.
