Diving Day

For the past two weeks, Mikaela has been taking swim lessons.  She loves being in the water, but isn't much for putting her head under or her face in (even for blowing bubbles).  Her teachers also worked on getting her to float on her back.  All things have improved, but we've got a ways to go I think.  Today was day 7 of 8 classes and also "Diving Day."  All classes jump off the diving board at least once, even the preschool class.  Of course for them, as you'll see in the pictures, there is an instructor in the pool with a noodle to help catch them, and an instructor on the board to help guide them out and in many cases, drop them in.  Mikaela wasn't thrilled with it, but smiled at the end and bragged about the accomplishment.    These were taken with my phone so please excuse the poorer quality.  I didn't think to bring the real camera as tomorrow is actually the time when they let parents come down to the pools and take pictures.  So stay tuned for that post tomorrow.
