Swim Lessons

Ashley took 6 weeks of swim lessons and they were great! They work with her age group on safety skills such as kicking/doggie-paddling, holding onto the edge of the pool, climbing out of the pool safely, rolling over onto their backs, as well as blowing bubbles, and going under water. She loved Mr. Steve our instructor and we were pleasantly surprised that she came and went from him as well as she did! :) She loves spending time in the pool and has become quite the little fishy! ! :)

Here is a video showing most of the skills!
- They tested her depth perception by placing a ring on different levels/steps and were teaching her to blow bubbles when necessary and put your face in the water to get the ring - Ashley did everything in her power not to have to put her face in!
- "Monkey-walking" along the edge of the pool. Showing her to pull herself up to safety if and when needed and teaching her some upper body strength to pull herself out of the pool!
- practiced kicking in a "car" like noodle and she loved this!
- Mr. Steve bravely put her under each week to help her become more comfortable with it! She's doing better, and will continue to do so as she learns to blow bubbles!
- We also sang songs, played some games and had lots of fun!
