This week, we started swim lessons for Molly. She absolutely LOVES being in the water and swimming, and since she is completely fearless, we thought it would be a good idea to get her some basic independent swimming skills. She is enrolled in class at Houston Swim Club and will go every day for two weeks as a starting point in a class for "guppies". She has the company of two of her friends, Lacey and Addison, who signed up with us. And, to our surprise, the fourth student in her class is another little girl who used to go to daycare with Molly, Alison. So the girls all know one another, which makes it much less intimidating to each of them. So far, there have been NO tears from any of our little guppies!
The skills that the class is aiming to teach are basic breath control, back floating, kicking, and basic water safety. Here are some pictures from our first three days of class. Mind you, the quality is pretty bad since we sit behind a one-way mirror and I am having to take the pictures through the glass.

And here is a video from today as well. If you watch closely, you will see that Molly retrieves a blue ring from the bottom of the pool. It takes her two tries, but she gets it!
