Our Fish!

Sam loves to swim, so we've enrolled her in swimming lessons.  She's done classes a few times before, but I always forgot my camera.  She's lucky to have her friends in the same class, so everybody but one she already knew.  She really likes her teacher, Ms. Kris!  At first, she's a little intimidating, but you grow to love her.  She's great with the kids!  I can really tell a difference in Samantha's water skills since she's started her classes.  She puts her face in the water willingly and jumps off the side of the pool, with the help of her teacher waiting to catch her. She's learning to float and dive under the water.  She's our little fish!



This is the little "table" that they stand on in the middle of the pool while teacher is one on one with another child.



Here's all the kids in the class.  It's all girls, just like at church.  Where are all those boys?



She wouldn't have done this in her last session of classes, so this is an improvement by far.



To practice hanging on to the side by themselves they pretend to be monkeys and go down the whole side of the pool, hand over hand.
