Swim Lessons

Emily took group swim lessons last year and enjoyed them but she never seemed to make much progress.  She doesn't like to get her face wet and is afraid of going under.  In a 30 minute group class there is a lot of time spent sitting on the side of the pool waiting and I think she would watch and think about things too much and she would be afraid to try the next skill. 

 This summer we decided to try private lessons.  Emily was a little nervous but once she met her teacher, Ms. Christina, she was in heaven.  She is doing great and is building trust with her teacher which is really important. She also gets a lollipop at the end of class!  She anticipates swim lessons all week! Seriously, she asks me everyday how many more days until she goes again. Here she is with her new goggles.
