Eva's First Week of Swim Lessons

This past week we started swimming lessons for Eva at a local rec center. She loves her bath time, so we thought she would enjoy it on a much larger scale! And she did... after a couple of days. The swimming area is very loud and chaotic at first glance, which made Eva apprehensive about this new adventure. However, by day three she smiled and gave a little happy dance when we arrived!

Below are a few snapshots of Eva's first week. When you watch the video you will want to make sure the sound is turned down, unless you want to experience the reason why Eva was apprehensive to start ;)





Every swimmer knows you have to start out with a good leg stretch!



Eva is very serious about her back stroke.



Swimming is quite easy when daddy does all the work.


Daddy shows Eva how to blow bubbles. Eva learned how to inhale water.


All of this work calls for a thumb sucking break!


By day three, Eva had learned how to "jump" off the side into the water! This was not the least bit scary for Eva, she has a fearless side to her.



We're looking forward to what the second week will have in store for our little ballerina fishy :)
