Swim Lessons

So living in sunny AZ means you need to know how to swim. Summers will be really long without this skill. So it was back to the Y this summer for swim class. Last summer Sammer didnt' really love swim class. She just clung on to me and I felt like I was getting the lessons!
We started lessons last month and this time she has to go solo. It's a good thing, but really hard to not get involved. This is our first experience at watching her do something without us completely. Rough.
The first month was good. She was probably the least talented swimmer in the class. Then, the second session started yesterday. This time there are only 3 of them in the class and to my surprise and amazement-she's the most proficient and daring swimmer in the class! She was blowing bubbles, floating on her back, kicking, jumping in, going under...great job Sammer!!!! We are proud of you-keep up the good work.
