Swim Lesson Update

Swim lessons are going swimmingly! Ivey will be graduating eary, with honors if they had 'em. She really likes to swim, but she is floating very very well. It's just not as fun to her. We will be working for the next couple days to improve her "roll" and just to make it click for her that she needs to roll and float to get her air and to rest before swimming again. She just wants to go, go, go! On Tuesday, she will "test out", which means that she will be swimming in clothes, shoes, diaper and a jacket. Wednesday of next week will be our last day, and I will be getting in the pool with her in order for me to get a refresher on how to maintain her lessons and not mess her up as we play this summer!

While she is in the pool, the boys are able to play in the hot tub area until after the lesson is over. When Ivey is finished, and if they were completely quiet during her lesson with no distractions at all, they can swim in the big pool while I get Ivey dressed. If they whine about getting out, they cannot swim the next day. So far, the boys are the easy ones! It's Olive that is a handful! I pretty much have to wear Olive in a sling or hold her during the lessons. Luckily, Melissa (the instructor) scheduled us as her last lesson so she can give me a hand!
