Swimming Lessons!

This summer I finally signed my kids up for swimming lessons. Rigby & Olivia always hated getting their faces wet, especially their eyes, & hated to be splashed! They would always just hang out at the edge of the pool & not swim.
So first day of swim lessons, you would of thought that they were being tortured! I guess for them, they were being tortured! The bloody murder screams that were coming out of them were heard by the whole city! Olivia would not quit screaming & would not let go of her teacher so her teacher just dunked her under the water! That sure got her attention!
Day 2 Olivia stilled cried pretty much the whole time! Rigby cried a few times but was brave!


Day 3 Rigby was hiding so he wouldn't have to go!
Can you see him?
Olivia had made her own plan to take too long getting ready to make us late, then to just sit in the car & not get out but when I would make her get out then she would swim once & get right back into the car. There were a few more parts to her plan but I can't remember them. It was pretty funny!
Once we got there, they didn't cry. By the end of week one they were both having fun!
They learned the back float & can do it by themselves now!
And they learned to "swim"!


My Olivia is a swimmer now!
Lainee has always liked the water & had taught herself to swim but we put her in lessons to learn the right way to swim.
She took right to swimming, which I think helped her little sister & brother to be more brave!
Good job kids!

That was fun to see and read. You are a great mom to never give up. Somehow that story can be used in the future for a learning experience. Love you
