Last night was our first swim class. It was at the Alfond Center, which is a combination Boys & Girls Club and YMCA. The girls were very excited, and couldn't wait for class to start!
The toddler class is held in the small pool. It is pretty shallow and also has a beach area so the kids can walk in and out.
Because the kids in this class can't really swim at all, one adult is required for every child. Grandma L. is helping us with swim lessons, so that Chris can take a break from child care for one evening a week. Last night Grandma was with Kate, and Brenda was with Emily.
The girls practiced blowing bubbles, kicking, and "reach-and-pulling". When we got some free time, Kate chose to peacefully float on her back and look at the ceiling....
....while Emily (in another classic example of their different personalities) chose to repeatedly jump off the edge of the deck into Mom's arms....over and over and over.
At the end of the class, the teacher brought out some floaty toys to play with, and the girls pretended they were at the ocean beach.
We love swim class!
