Swimming Like a Pro!

Harper loves to swim, but has never been a pro.  She takes after me...loves the water, but can't do the butterfly backstroke or whatever that fancy move is.  I got to thinking that we always do swim lessons each year...in July...so she never gets to practice afterwards because it is time to go back to school.
This year, I had a brilliant idea...swim lessons before summer.  I know...genius! :)  So we headed to the local YMCA, closest one is about 10 mins from our house to sign up.
Harper has been going every Tuesday and Thursday during the month of March and she is loving it.  I put her in a class that was a little more advanced than what I thought, but she is doing great.  They practice in 6 foot water  and do varying degrees of strokes on their backs and fronts...all the way across the pool. They started with a kickboard, but have progressed to only using a pool noodle when necessary.  At the end of every lesson they practice their dives and she loves that.  She has been a real trooper and I am hoping that she has developed some good swimming habits over the past few weeks!  Here's to looking forward to summer!
