Swim lessons

The week before we went to the beach the girls took swim lessons with a friend Jeff and I work with.  Claire had "lost" much of her comfort in the water from last summer, and I wanted her to gain some skills back.  Anna was just happy to splash around!  By the end of the week, Claire was way more comfortable in the water, and was even asking to practice her back floating at home in our pool. I think knowing how to swim is so important.  (Even though I'm not a fan of swimming…it's hard! I still want the girls to respect the water.)

The final day of lessons I was able to go into the pool area and watch everything they've learned.  Here are some of the pictures from the day:
