Last week, June 2- 6, Ava had her first swim lessons with Miss Traci. There were two other kids in the 1/2 hour class and it was sooo much fun for them. The first day, Ava cried a lot and Ms. Traci had to hold her the whole time, but day 2 - 5 were GREAT! Basically Ava can now kick, paddle and hold her breath to get back to and grab the side of the pool if she falls in. Ms. Traci had great technique for these kids. She taught them to blow bubbles by singing a motorboat song, get comfortable floating on their backs by looking in the sky to find all the different "polar bears" in the sky, dig through the water like digging in the sand and kicking (which they all thought was the most fun)! Practicing is fun with Ava too, she gets so proud of herself each time I make her "swim" to the side of the pool. Yesterday, I could barely get her out of the pool. Thank you Ms. Traci for helping Ava to not be afraid of going in the water!! This summer is going to be a blast! (Each day Ava brought her Little Mermaid doll with her so Ariel could watch)
