Swimming Lessons

Don't Cry Ali, it will be Okay




So as you can see we have been playing in the water A LOT this summer...the Lake, Water World, Water Fun at friends houses, and now Swimming Lessons! :)

Cassidy graduated from having her mom in the pool with her...she was all on her own for the 1st time with her swimming teacher Alicia, and with some of her preschool friends (Tyler, Chloe, Ali) and made new friends with Reese, & Jake.

It was so fun to watch her swim 5 days a week over a 2 week period. Alicia was very patient with the kiddos. By the second week Cassidy overcame her fear of going underwater all by herself and swimming to the steps. I'm so proud of her! As a parent you feel like their biggest fan to watch your child overcome their fears. Cassidy's favorite part was playing Red Light (no kicking)/Green Light (kick as fast as you can). On the last day of swimming lessons we had a big Pizza Party at the park.

We're going to take a little break from swimming lessons, but Cassidy can't wait until she gets back in the pool to learn how to swim even better!

Thanks for inviting us to do swim lessons with you! As you know, Tyler loved it! You are right, watching your child improve and get over their fears is the best part.
