Swimming Lessons!

Zanna's in her second set of swim lessons this summer. She's taking lessons at Wells Branch Community Pool and we have really enjoyed both sessions. The first session we were in a "parent-toddler" class with Ms. Katie (whom Zanna now adores) and mostly did the basics: blow bubbles, kick, jump off the side, etc. Zanna was a fish from day one, which surprised me considering last year she wanted absolutely nothing to do with the water. That was way back in June, and now we're getting around to our second session of swim lessons, only this time, Zanna's in the Pre-school beginner class. When I arrived the first day donning my bathing suit, the other parents looked at me quizzically. I quickly learned that in the pre-school classes, it's "kids only" and mom 'gets' to sit out and watch.... aka roast in the heat!! I got smart after the first day, and bought pool tags for the family, so that I can swim with her before and after the lessons, which makes the heat less unbearable for those 35 minutes where she's being adorable in the pool and I'm baking on the sidelines. Today completed our first week and she did great! She even began to swim totally on her own today (for about 1 second) and will continue to work on that next week. Love my little fish :)
