Swim Time!!

Rylee loves to swim. We have her in swim lessons every week and she absolutely loves it. Chris and I are really excited about having our own pool but want to make sure Rylee is safe - so we signed her up for lessons. Every week we take her and one of us (usually Chris) gets to swim with her. She is learning all the basic survival skills- to float on her back and to swim to the side and pull herself up. So far she is doing amazingly well. After 5 weeks she has already learned to swim under water- yes you read right- swim under water. She is able to go under and swim through a hula hoop and then come up. We are so proud of her. She even went down the waterslide this week. I think we may have a fish n our hands!! We are hoping that by keeping her swimming all winter she will still love the pool next summer. Watch out we may even have a future Olympian!!!
