Woooooo Hooooo!!! We made it through swimming lessons this summer! There has been A LOT of crying & screaming & nerves but the girls did great & are much more comfortable in the water.
We did private lessons for both girls this time & it went much better. Both girls can "monkey walk" holding onto the edge & walking their hands to the step.
Carley can be dropped in the water & grab the edge & can get her footing in shallow water or on the step. She is pretty brave & will wade out to her neck by herself. I think it's funny that she will lay in the shallow end & do "monkey, star, soldier" it's suposed to help her float on her back - which she was almost doing by herself after the first session but got to scared this time.
Carley just got her footing & Mya helped her up
Mya's transformation is amazing! She cried every day about going to swim lessons but after the first few days she was loving it & cried the last day for 30 minutes because she will miss her coach & lessons. Here she is swimming to the step.
She can float on her back forever
She swims mostly with one arm (because she is always reaching with the other) but she can do it & she swam across the pool by herself multiple times. We are so proud of her!! This is HUGE because she was really terrified of deep water. Goggles were a big help too!
My little Mermaids!
The last day they get to go down the slide - well Carley pooped through her swim diaper & on her teacher - SO gross. I still feel bad about it...
Mya going down by HERSELF!!!!
Landing & swimming to the edge!!!
