Swim lessons

This week the girls are taking swim lessons in the afternoon.  Lauren and Corynne are in one class perfecting their strokes and diving, and Lyndsey is in her own class learning all about swimming!  

This was actually Lyndsey's first time in a pool without some type of floatation devise.  She was so excited to be a big girl!  She started off the week a little timid.   At one point, she refused to get back in the pool when Mrs. Karen started taking kids down to the big diving board.  I really thought that Mrs. Karen had met her match.  Then Lyndsey said okay, got back in the pool, and actually went down to the diving board.  WOW!  How did she do that????  On the first jump, she required Mrs. Karen to hold her hand.  By the 3rd day, Lyndsey was jumping off by herself and making her way to the stairs (tredding water not really swimming yet)!  She did awesome, and we are all so proud of her!
