Swimming

I signed Sophie up for private swimming lessons, after watching the group lessons the city put on, it seemed they just hung on the side of the pool and blew bubbles and kicked their feet. I decided I'd rather put her in private lessons so she could learn quicker. So far she has had 2 lessons and already can dive under water and pick up rings, swim about 4 feet from in the water to the edge of the pool and jumps in with no fear and floats on her back. She is also learning to use her arms and kicking her legs. She has made great progress in those 2 lessons, as she wouldn't even put her face in the water and had to cling to one of us or her swim noodle before lessons. Here are some pictures of her at the pool now, I bought her some sticks so she could practicing her diving for things liked she learned in her lessons.
