Big Day at The Pool.

My favorite day of the week is Tuesday. It is Swim Lessons Day. And I can honestly say that nothing makes me happier than watching my kids swim.

Haley has always been a natural in the pool. She has no fear and just goes for it. She's actually teaching me how to swim properly now.

Lexi loves the pool, but she's had some issues with her ears. (She has tubes.) So she hates laying on her back because of the sensation of water in her ears. (We even use ear plugs and swim caps). But usually tears are involved.

The last 2 weeks, however, she has come out of her shell. And it is SO awesome!!!

The swim program that we are in requires the child to be able to swim and then flip over onto her back and float before she can learn ANYTHING else. It is a safety issue...so if she starts swimming and can't catch her breath, she can flip over onto her back and be safe.

Today she did it...over and over...on her own...without help...without tears....




When her lesson was over, she asked her teacher if she could do it again. It was an exciting day!
