Swimming Lessons!

We have just completed two weeks of swimming lessons at the Killearn Estates Swim Club and we couldn't be any prouder of Kate.  She has been the star student - well behaved and willing to try anything the teachers asked.  There were a lot of criers in her class this year, which could have been distracting, but Kate didn't let that phase her one bit.



 Little man came a couple nights, but he was not happy that he wasn't able to swim too.  Maybe next year, Mase!

 This year, the class was taught by Ms. Olivia (Kate had her last year too) and Ms. Mary.  Kate worked a lot with Ms. Mary since Ms. Olivia was busy with the little ones who kept crying - constantly. I'm so relieved Kate wasn't like that.  In fact, she loved lessons this year. She was always smiling, even when it caused her to swallow water. She told me after the first lesson that she "swam like a mermaid".  Very true, Katie-Boo.


  Getting ready to do the "survival float" and posing for a picture.  So cute.
Love that smile.
My handsome boys watching the show.

 I'm not confident that she was able to swim on her own just yet, but she is definitely getting there.  She's not afraid this year like she was last year so that's an improvement.  Maybe if we keep working hard, she'll be swimming all by herself later this summer!
Great job Kate!  We are all so proud of you!
