Kylee's 1st Swim Lessons!

In August Kylee started swim lessons for the first time at Kramer middle school in Placentia.   She was really excited that her best friend Ruby was going to be in her class with her.  The first day she got into the pool with out crying, but as soon as her teacher splashed her face with water, the screaming began.  She didn't stop crying/screaming the entire lesson.  She went back the next week kicking and screaming!  I wasn't sure what to do and if I should continue torturing her.  Then on Friday, she just stopped crying!  It was like something changed and suddenly it wasn't scary.  I was so happy!!  Now she LOVES swim lessons!  Here are some pics of here two weeks in the pool.

Kylee and Ruby




She should be blowing bubbles but doesn't want to get her face in the water :)


Daddy even came to watch a few times!!!



The second week she started getting her hair wet!  She was supposed to jump off the mat, instead she takes the girl out next to her with her knee.  Sorry!

Peek a boo!  Practicing "bobs".

Floating on her back

Blowing bubbles under the water!

Michelle was her favorite teacher!

Kylee loved riding the "magic carpet".

The last day!!  She can't swim by herself yet but she does have a lot more confidence in the water and isn't afraid to be splashed!  She learned how to blow bubbles, do bobs, kick on a kick board and float on her back.  Can't wait to do it again!
