Makayla's 1st Swim Lessons

Makayla started her private swim lessons today at our neighborhood pool with Miss. Brianna. Miss. Brianna is her teacher at My Gym so she's really familiar with her. She does this for the summer and makes it so convenient by coming to our pool. Makayla loves the water but we really want her to be super comfortable and safe when in the pool or by one, so we're hoping that the lessons will get her to a position where she can swim to the side and get out of the pool safely in case of an emergency. Already on the 1st day she was picking up rings and surfing on her body board with Brianna. We'll see how she progresses. Hopefully she'll get to go under water without it being a big deal too. She also learned how to blow bubbles which is how they breath under water. Pretty neat what we're learning along with all this too. We'll keep you posted on her lessons and how she's progressing.....
