By saying that Claire loves to swim would be an understatement. She is a fanatic when it comes to swimming. If went swimming everyday that would be totally fine by her. Last week Dave was able to join us for her weekly swimming lesson. Since I didn't have to get in the water with her this time I got take pictures. Here are a few for you to enjoy of our "little fish".
As you can see the pool isn't very big or deep but if your a little person it is just the perfect size. Thats Dave and the instructor, Stephanie, they are both crouching down as it is warmer in the water, usually around 98 degrees. Its so nice and comfortable.
Claire is diving for a weighted toy. It is about four feet to the bottom. It is one of her favorite things to do in the pool.
Claire can swim about three or four feet on one breath. We are working with her to learn to roll her head to the side for a breath and then keep swimming. I am sure she will be doing it all on her own soon. In fact, Claire is in a transition class that is normally for three year old and older but her skills are so strong they want her moving up. It is a great swim program.
