Swimming Lessons with Alissa

For the past three years, the girls have taken swimming lessons with a girl named Marissa. This year she wasn't doing swimming lessons - the girls were devastated. They loved her! Really there was only one other option - back to the pool where I took swimming lessons as a kid. I got a good reference to another girl who was doing private swimming lessons at the pool, so we decided to try her. The girls loved her! I was so happy with our decision to go to her. The girls learned so much from her. By the end of the week, Aubrey was doing different strokes and swimming even farther. Chloe made huge strides in her swimming ability. She went from not wanting to go underwater the first day to jumping off of the diving board into the 12 foot part of the pool and swimming to the edge all by herself. Amazing! It's so nice to know that they can both save themselves now if they happen to fall into the pool.

They had a small shallow kiddie pool where Coye played the entire time. It was perfect for him and he loved it!
