AW..DD swam across the pool by herself!

DD has always loved the water & I figured she would be an early swimmer. I was thinking about signing up for a local swim program that was 2 weeks long & they basically learn how to swim from the parent back to the wall no more than 5 feet away. The session was $170 so I was on the fence. I used to teach swimming, but not the survival method. I decided to work with her a little on Sunday & yesterday she was swimming across the shallow end all by herself!! I am so proud of her :)

Here is a video from yesterday:YouTube - Swimming

    Wow--that's great!  WTG big girl!  I was an early swimmer (my first swim meets were at at 4) so I am sooo into it w/ my kids.  My DD#1 can swim the length of the pool (long) but it took 1.5yr of YMCA swim lessons to get there--I can't wait to get in the pool w/ them this summer! :o)

    That is AMAZING!  I can't imagine Kate doing that, and she's only a couple months younger than Riley.  Wow!

    1. GO RILEY!!!! that's awesome...I was hoping that my kids would be early swimmers too...(I was also an instructor) DD isn't into it yet  (she's 4 and just doesn't like to actually swim) and DS loves the water so there is hope :) we'll see in a couple of months.

    2. have you checked out the Infant Swim program? I wanted to have my kids do it but there isn't an instructor near me and you have to do it everyday for like 10 days in a row...plus refreshers...so I can't do a long distance thing with it...but I love the program (it teaches them to roll over and float on their backs to catch their breath)

    3. I hate you....you are 13 weeks pg and you look AMAZING!!!! I look more pg than you do (and I'm not pg). go YOU!
