Chloe's Swim Lessons

Chloe has started swim lessons this week. She has been playing in the baby pool, blowing bubbles and blowing up balloons. She loves it and is bummed at the thought of not being able to go tomorrow because it might rain.
First Day

Her lifeguard/teacher's name is Allie Watkins.  Chloe loves her!  Tucker Arnold has been helping with her as well.  I think he loves her!
 Second Day

The first week of swim lessons went well aside from the fact that Chloe HIGHLY disliked going under the water.  Ms. Debbie said she is an "I don't want to go under" not an "I can't go under".  She would hold her breath fine, but she would come up out of the water "mad as a hornet" as Ms. Debbie put it.  We had a week of vacation between her two weeks of swim lessons, and what a difference that week made.  While on vacation, Chloe kept experimenting with going under, and by the time she went back to swim lessons, she was putting her whole head under on her own.  By the end of swim lessons this summer, she was swimming to the bottom of the 3.5 foot to pick up diving rings!
