swim lessons day 3

This morning I got the lovely privilege of taking Samantha to her class. We got there about 5 minutes before class so I jumped in with her to get her use to the 83* water. She did WAY better then the last time. She did have a little trouble in the beginning...she got out and ran to the other side of the pool area which is a big rule breaker, running by the pool. I had to run after her and get her to come back. Once she got in she did great. She even spent most of the class hanging on the side of the pool with the rest of the class. She did whine a lot between exercises, thankfully there were only 4 kids today so she didnt have to wait to long for her turns. The very last exercise of the day is 3 jumps off the side of the pool then the teacher has them "swim" to the side of the pool. Sam does NOT like this exercise at all because she ends up going under when she is trying to do her 'ice cream scoops' and kick back to the wall. On the very last one she realized that the teacher was going to give her a little push to help her get started so she flung herself forward and grabbed the side with out going under! We'll have a mermaid soon!!
