For the first week of Summer Addie was signed up for swim lessons. We found a lady who does them out of her backyard the first full week of Summer and only allows 4 kids in each class. We jumped at the opportunity and are so glad we did!
Before Swim lessons, Addie would NEVER put her head under the water, and if she did she would end up crying every time. At her swimming lessons in the fall she would sit and cry before, during, and after the lesson. It was a very dramatic event. So, this time....I bribed her. I told her that if she did everything the teacher told her to, and didn't cry, then she would get to choose a prize out of our prize box at the end of the week, but she had to do good everyday. I am the.most.happy. mom ever after these lessons. She is a totally different kid in the water. She can swim!!! 100% completely on her own!! Jumping in the pool, swimming across the pool, coming up for breath during her swimming, diving for rings in the deep end.....I mean, she really can swim! It is quite amazing. She is a totally different kid in the water. When we go to the pool now, all she wants to do is jump in and do bobs the whole time. It is pretty funny. I don't know what this teacher did, but wow! Totally worth the $40.
