Pikes and Polliwogs
Today the girls had their first swimming lesson. All 4 of them are enrolled in the Pikes which is the very beginning class for swimming lesson. They go Tuesday and Thursdays at 4pm.
They were all so excited to go swimming in the indoor pool. They all get in…except for Miranda. She was scared out of her skin. She screamed, hollered, clung to me like Velcro. Finally we pulled her off me and it took 3 people to help me get her in the pool. Amazingly, the instructor told me this is completely normal and they see this all of the time.
They all hung onto to the side of the pool. They leard to kick their feet in the water and get their face wet. They didn’t blow bubbles in the water, that was a little too much for them to do and they got a little scared. Savannah did fine with blowing bubbles and dunking her head.
Savannah did so well that they have moved her up to Polliwog!! Her class will be after the triplets, at 4:30.
Miranda cried the whole lesson. She really was scared and kept saying she was scared. I think she needs the swimming lessons the most to help her get over her fear.
Amanda was so happy she held on with her strong left arm and splashed the water with her right lucky arm and also kicked her feet in the water. She had a complete blast and was enjoying it so much.
Maryssa was following the teachers directions and splashing as she was told to do. She is quite the good little student!!
They all froze their little tails off when they got out of the pool. They cried as I put their towels on them. They were shivering. We quickly scuttled to the car and I changed their clothes when we got home.
I am so proud of my little guppies!!
