This year I decided it was time to enroll
Landrie in swimming lessons. She loves to go swimming but was so afraid of small things like going under, using a life jacket, slides etc so I knew it was time, plus she was 4. I really should have done it when she was smaller, but you live and learn. I enrolled her in swim lessons in Mesquite, my neighbors mom is over them so I felt really good about it. Her lessons were at
Vanston 4 days a week for 30 minutes for 2 weeks. She did great in the first session but I knew she needed another session so I signed her back up, she wound up taking swimming lessons for a month but I am so proud to say she goes all the way under without any fear, goes down slides, tries in every pool to see how far she can touch without Mommy and Daddy, jumps off the side of the pool into the water to us of course, but hey it's more than she was doing. She will at least try what we ask once, if it scares her or she doesn't like it then she doesn't do it again, but she tries. This definitely has given her the confidence in water that she needed. I can't wait to see what she is able to do by the end of next summer, I am so proud of my baby girl!
From day one you could see a bond between one of the young teachers and
Landrie, her name is Victoria and they both adored each other, I know that bond helped
Landrie and I am so glad they had it.

All the kiddos
Learning to enter and exit the pool
Ms. Robyn worked with
Landrie a lot the first few days to help her
Getting ready to dunk her, I was so scared that she would scream, but she didn't
The lessons actually started on
Landrie's real birthday so they all sang to her
Blowing out their birthday candles
After going under again
Landrie practicing going under in the bathtub, something she never would do before
Landrie and Ms. Victoria
Practicing floating
Her idea of going under after the first session was just her face, but it was a start. But by the end she was going all the way under
In the beginning she would only go down the slide with someone, by the end she was going down all by herself

That's awesome she did great! I tried to find a place for my kiddos this summer but could never find anything that would work for our schedule.
