Swim Lessons

Seoul and I did parent/child swim lessons for a couple weeks. Chubby, pregnant me in a swimsuit is not ideal but I will do anything for my girl :) Neither Kelley nor I swim much but I want Seoul to know how and enjoy the water. I've heard of infant classes where it is just them and an instructor and they get thrown in the water to learn quickly. I could never watch that happen to my child, I think.

Day 1 - held on to me tight but enjoyed herself
Day 2 & 3 - cried out loud the whole time and just said "no" over and over
Day 4 - Daddy and the girl cousins came to watch so she was constantly calling out to them and enjoyed herself. She actually wanted to jump off the side and "swim" to the floating fish.
Day 5 - Grandma came to watch so again, she knew someone was watching so she had fun. She even voluntarily put her face in the water a couple times.
Day 6 - Did not want to get out of the pool and wanted to keep jumping and "swimming" - good times!

Audrey and I sooooo need to do this! I agree, there is no way I'm throwing my baby in the water... scary!
