The first lesson was rough. Addi did not want to try anything that Ms. Samantha, her instructor, wanted her to do! I think it was because she didn't know anyone and is always skiddish around new people. Each week got a little better though and by the end of the session, she was doing fabulous and also happened to be the teacher's pet and the little girl who volunteered to go first!
As a result, she is jumping off the side of the pool now--not minding if she goes underwater and will even put her head underwater on her own! Her confidence has really grown! We will definitely do swimming lessons again next summer but it was so exciting to see how much progress she made in such a short time!
