Piper's Swimming Lessons

This past year's swimming lessons for Piper were a huge improvement from the first year she started.  That first year, she hated every minute of it and didn't want to learn much.  This year, she didn't cry and followed everything Miss Bethany told her to do.  Such a difference a year makes.  We did lessons in the evening, so Brody could join us and have fun swimming.  He loved that, so I'll try for it this year too.

Here's Piper after one of her lessons was done.  Ready to be done for the night.
 Piper with her teacher, Miss Bethany.
 Working on her arms.  1,2,3 pool.
 Practicing reaching for the edge.
 By the end, she was going so far underwater by herself.

Way to go Piper!  We were so proud of her and all she accomplished.  John joined us for her last lesson and my parents were able to see her last few lessons as they were staying with us.  We had a lot of fun practicing that week in the warm weather we got to enjoy.

I loved swimming lessons as a kid! Way to introduce your kids to the water. One of my current friends is 30 and can't swim! sad!
