Summer Swim Lessons

Among other things, we also got some swim lessons in this summer for Kenzie. She was so glad Miss KC was going to teach her. She improved so much in her swimming in a short time! Thanks KC!

I had to get one of Little Aubrey in there too! Great job Kenzie on swimming!

Swim Lesson fun

Mackenzie has been taking swim lessons this week and has really been enjoying it along with improving her water skills. She is enjoying them much more than her lessons at the high school earlier this summer that I ended up pulling her out of (lots of different reasons). A friend of mine recommended a college student from Purdue (Boiler Up!) who is doing swim lessons in her neighborhood so I called her and set up a time. She is definitely enjoying it much more this go around! Her swim teacher has been so patient with her, as she has never liked being on her back and was a little timid in a big pool without mommy and daddy after her experience at the high school where there were many students-I am soooo happy we are doing private lessons!

Have a great weekend everyone! Stay cool!

We have some painting to do in the baby's room! Yay!

Swim Lessons

Mackenzie is doing great on her swim lessons! She thinks the water is too cold though-she is shivering every day at the end and her lips are turning blue! The lessons are inside and the water is 80ish. She is doing really well on her skills, though, and has learned a lot! Some of her skills she has learned with help are: floating, ducking under water, blowing bubbles, kicking her legs, front stroke, jumping in while being held, etc. She has another week after this so much more to learn! I did get some pictures today, so enjoy these pictures of the little munchkin!
Jim is off this week, so he is getting in with her and I will get in next week! So since I had an extra pair of hands this week I had to get in some pictures while I could!

Her lessons are at the High School pool.

Learning to blow bubbles!

Trying to float on her back. She does not like being on her back in the water but she is getting better at trying it.

Just hangin' in the innertube waiting for directions from her teacher! The lessons were taught by someone from the American Red Cross.

Going under water and showing off the breast stroke!

Here they are playing Ring around the Rosie in the water-you will hear the adults singing! See if you can find Jim and Mackenzie-they did not duck under at the end when "we all fall down" is said.

Happy swimming! Enjoy the pictures and videos! Have a great rest of the week! We have lots of fun holiday activities coming up this weekend so be checking back for some fun posts!
