Swim Lessons

At the end of the summer we took swim lessons with some friends at the swim teacher's house.  For Emma Catherine we just wanted her to work on her strokes and we were hoping Bailey would get more confident in the water.  I think it was beneficial for both of them.  Bailey actually went underwater a few times and she would put her face in the water to pick up a toy.  She still doesn't like to jump in the pool for fear that she will go underwater, but she did jump a few times.  As the end of the swimming season is ending, I am hoping that we have built a foundation to build on next summer. 

At the end of swim lessons, they were able to go down the slide.  Emma Catherine loved it and Bailey wasn't too sure but she did go down after much persuasion.
