Swimming Lessons

Anna & I started swimming lessons today. It is just a series of eight 30-minute classes to get her more comfortable in the water. She has already been to the big pool several times, but I think this class will be good for both of us. We learned a couple of songs to sing to make playing in the water more fun; they taught us to show the kids how to walk with their hands on the side of the pool if for some reason they were alone in the pool and could get to the side; and they told us the techniques for getting their faces in the water. We didn't attempt to go totally under today, I think I'll wait another couple of days since it is taking her a few minutes to warm up to being in the pool anyway and I don't want to ruin the experience for her.
