Swim Lessons Summer 2011

So Ashley just finished her final day of swim class for this summer!  She had an amazing 16 weeks of great swim technique and pool safety!  We started back in April and have done some amazing parent/child swim lessons.  When we started we were in a group of 3 and now we have only 2 of us, so we've been lucky enough to have some great one-on-one time with Ms. Mary our teacher!

Ashley is swimming with great arms (righty, lefties) and kicking like crazy to get from point A to point B.  She can do "up-spits", which is swimming across the pool with short breaths in-between.  She is also able to jump in from the side of the pool and swim back to the "wall" for safety.  She has a blast jumping off the diving board and feels like such a big girl!

I am looking forward to swimming with her more and watching her master all of these skills over the next few months, so we can learn even more come this April! :)  She is quite a little fishy and loves being in the water!  Ms. Mary took some pictures of the kiddos underwater last week and they look AMAZING!

Here are some fun pictures of our swim lesson journey and a great video to show you her awesome swimming! :)    


Her first swim ribbon, for mastering going "under" and holding her breath
2nd swim ribbon, for mastering 8 weeks of great swimming!
Oh' so proud of her ribbons! :)  
3rd ribbon for 12 weeks of swimming and mastering her "up-spits"
Pure joy! :)
Fourth and final ribbon of the summer!  
16 weeks of amazing memories! :)
