The last couple of weeks have been filled with swimming lessons in the mornings. Unlike Aubrey's previous experience with swimming lessons, this year went really well!
At first she was pretty timid about going in and wanted me to stand by her the entire time, but by the end of week two she was kicking and practicing her strokes with confidence!
Yup, this is the face she makes when she's really concentrating :).
Overall, Aubrey learned some new skills. She was pretty good at kicking, but now has become a stronger kicker. She submerged her face in water (which this was pretty huge for her considering she was pretty traumatized by getting her face wet during her very first swim lesson a couple of years ago!), she jumped into the pool, started to get her strokes down a little better, and can swim back to the edge of the pool a few feet!
Aubrey was feeling so confident and proud after the lessons finished up. She did, however, revert back to some of her old fears when we got into her grandparent's pool on Friday :(. We'll keep working with her and I think another round of swimming lessons before the summer is over wouldn't hurt either :).
We're so proud of you Aubrey for the growth that you made this year!! Keep working on those skills that you've learned! You'll be a little swimming fish in no time! :)
