Last Day of {Swimming} School

The Little Fish has graduated from Level One Swimming. She's been in Level One for almost nine months now (she started before she was even 3) but has made huge improvements and has so much confidence in the water. She can go under water, hold her breath, climb along the wall, pull herself out, jump in, kick her little legs, retrieve things from the bottom of the pool, and swim "on her own" a little bit.

Here she is swimming from the teacher back to the other kids, face in and all.


Since today was the last day of class the kids got to line up and take turns jumping off at the deep end into the jets. Kyla loved this and did it three times in all. Here Heidi is watching (she TOTALLY would have done it too if I would have let her). A few times I thought she was going in anyways. I wasn't really prepared for these actions shots with my camera but here they are. The first one is hilarious and I wish it weren't so blurry.



We start up swimming again in just 4 weeks at a different pool. This time its mostly to be outside and with Kyla's good friend Taylor. We'll be in Level One again but the class is everyday. So who knows she maybe on her own soon enough.

She looks so grown up in that first picture! It's funny that you called her the little fish because I have that as a title for her section of the Arizona scrapbook. It's supa cute

So fun! We have our last class on thursday...well, it doesnt have to be but till baby arrives it will be, my choice. :) Coleson started taking lessons at 9 months so he can do everything Kyla does, too! He is in the age 2-4 class... She looks like a super fish :)

I'm glad to see she has on her special goggles.
And I know Heidi would jump in there after seeing her jump in the water at my pool.

Wow, she is doing so great for her age! She puts my girls to shame! Love the pictures.
