Swim lessons
Since Brad was a lifeguard for many years, he was excited about the prospect of teaching Sophie how to swim. There have been 3 lessons so far, and there has already been much progress:
- Sophie has graduated from only sitting in the frog pool to now being allowed in the big pool.
- She used to only jump off the side while holding onto Dada’s fingers…well, after watching a 4-yr old girl do it without holding on, Sophie now leaps in without assistance (we still catch her of course)
- She used to cling on to Dada for dear life, but now is starting to relax and even enjoys riding on Dada’s back like he’s a dolphin
- She has learned how to use the first two steps to get into the pool
- The latest lesson included practicing how to kick with her feet and blowing bubbles into the water
-
- Ready 2 Go
-
- Near-Perfect Form
-
- Blowing Bubbles
-
- Kick! Kick! Kick!
-
- Chicken Anyone?
My Little Sophie will be a natural in the water. She has a good teacher, and will be swimming next year
