Swim Lessons

I signed Harper up for a one week session of swim lessons. 
Since Memorial weekend, she's been out on the boat & been in the pool having a blast.
She jumps in with out any fear, not afraid to go under.
I figured swim lessons would be right up her alley

Day 1
Yep, real tears!  The lesson was 40 minutes long, she cried about 35 minutes of it.
She was not a happy camper.
She was having an "off" day.  Completely out of character.

Day 2


Completely different kid...jumping in with the teacher showing no fear.
The mama in me thinks she was the best "jumper" of the bunch.


Day 2 was much better...


Day 3


She's getting more
comfortable with the teacher.
Day 4....trusting the teacher a little bit more.



Day 5
She's happy so far...

Short lived- she had major separation issues on Day 5.  She would NOT get near the teacher with out Neil or I holding her in the water.


Ahhh...daddy always makes it better!

Harper ended up missing the last 3 days of the swim session. She got sick with a fever & runny nose. 
Overall, she did great in swim class.  By day 5, we had her swimming underwater from Neil to me.  The funny part, she didn't close her mouth underwater because she had a smile glued to her face.
She had a blast as long as one of us was in the water with her.
