It is January, so what else should be do but take swimming classes with a new teacher. I decided to enroll both Alivia and Addison hoping that Addison would cooperate with her sister at her side. Well, after 2 weeks, Addison said she wanted to get out and and go home and would not get into the pool further than the sitting step. So, she had to withdraw from class. Alivia is still very timid. She is the only one in her class now, so we may be switching so she can watch other kids actively participating in hopes that she will follow suit. We have had her in a number of classes without much if any signs of improvement. Swimming may just not be her thing.
One thing I did not consider when enrolling in winter swimming...the clothes, taking off the coats & clothes, swimming then, the clothes, drying the hair, etc. Yikes...it takes forever!! But, it is so worth it in the end, right?

When is your lesson? Who is the teacher? I've been thinking that I am regretting taking Riley out. I took him to the gym and tried to swim with him and he acted like he forgot everything he learned!!!
Oh...not possible! I think there is only 1 teacher, Barb. We go in the mornings but are looking for a new time so Alivia will not be alone.
