Baileigh improved a ton. I would say that she can officially swim on her own now. She can jump off the diving board and swim about 25 feet to the edge of the pool. It isn't always pretty, but she manages to get there. Her strokes are improving and her confidence in the water has doubled.
Baileigh loves to dive! She is still mastering the form...but despite a few belly smackers, she would get out of the pool and immediately start asking her teacher if she could try again. As soon as she would surface she would ask "Did I do it?"
The first few days with Mckenna were rough, as you already know, but thanks to Miss Sara and bribery thing improved! By the end of this week Mckenna was brave enough to swim away from her teacher a few times. She somewhat conquered her fear of the deep end...at least she was compliant and didn't scream but she was anxious to swim back to her comfort zone.
Brooke was a trooper as her primary job was to hang out with Mommy and encourage her sisters and delivery their towels after lessons. She took her jobs very seriously and was anxious to great them with a hug and towel when they got out of the pool.
Today we stayed after lessons to swim with the girls friend, Allison...so Brooke got a chance to enjoy the water, too.
