Swimming Lessons with Myrna!

Baylee (4) is on the far right in the yellow life-vest. Myrna teaches them to hold hands and help each other in the water. This was day 7 of swimming lessons. The photos are backwards in sequence...I can't seem to figure out how to change it?

Baylee jumping in with her life-vest. She had to wear her clothes over her swimsuit this day.


Baylee's class - getting ready to jump in the water!


Bryce (2) just jumped off the diving board with his life-vest and will roll over onto his back. Bryce just loved swimming lessons this summer! He cried quite a bit last summer. He wanted to do everything Baylee was doing including diving to the bottom of the pool to get rings. It is sure fun to see the kids progress in their swimming abilities!

Bryce and Baylee ~ swimming at home is just not the same as it is at Myrna's Swimming pool! This was a pool we picked up and had to return because the slide part had a hole in it and wouldn't stay inflated. We will have to go to Costco and search for another pool!

Breanna (7 months) ~ floating on her back. She had to wear her clothes over her swimming suit on this day. It was "life-saving" day. Breanna surprised us all by picking this up by day 2! It was amazing how she jumped into the water and rolled right over on her back! The babies seemed to learn this the quickest.

Baylee is now ready to move on to be in a class of her own...she is pretty much swimming on her own. We may put her back into a swimming lesson class in Septemeber. Myrna is just great! She has been teaching swimming lessons for 50+ years! She has a dream of building an Aquatic Wellness Center. Her website is: www.aquaticwellnesscenter.org
