Swim Lessons - Summer 2008

These pictures are a bit (or a lot!) delayed. They were on my other camera, which I just recently unpacked. Anyway, Kaira took swim lessons last summer and these are some of the pictures from the 'Family Day' on the last day of lessons to show off what they had learned.

Getting into the water

Jumping in and then swimming back to the edge of the pool (this was one of the first things they learned, in case they ever fell into a pool they would know how to get back to the edge).

After the swim lesson was over, the instructor jokingly asked if any of the kids were brave enough to jump off of the diving board, and surprisingly, Kaira volunteered. She started to have second thoughts once she got up there and the water looked so far down. She finally agreed to jump if her instructor would jump with her. She was a little scared, but proud afterward that she did it.
