Swimming

We have been putting the girls in swim classes since they were 6 months old. It's amazing to see how well Ava is doing and we hope to see Acelynn become more comfortable in the water as well. We mostly do it so they don't forget their skills over the winter and are ready to swim in my mom's pool during the summer!!!

Ava practicing floating on her back. She has come a long ways with this. She use to hate doing it. When she wears her ear plugs and headband, she will actually put her ears in the water!!!

Ava moved up to the "Make A Splash" class. So, she is in the water with an instructor and not mom or dad. She has been doing very well and is getting more confident. Right now, she can swim with just a noodle under her arms. We will be working on jumping of the diving board next summer for sure!!!

Acelynn has fun in the water, but she gets cold so quickly that 15 minutes into class she wants to get out. She is doing a lot better with floating on her back, kicking her legs and scooping her hands!!! Now, if we can just get her to jump off the side of the pool!!!
