Last year I signed Claire up for swim lessons. She started out in the entry level preschool class, Catfish 1. She had a lot of fun, but she was still timid around the water. She wouldn't put her face in, not that I really blame her, but she wasn't progressing. After each session we would practice skills in the bathtub, and she would tell me that she was ready to try again. She took that class 3 times! Finally she was onto Catfish 2. I think I was more excited than her.
The first day of the new class made me think, "here we go...we'll be doing this class at least 3 times too..." By the second day, Claire was all of a sudden doing everything the teacher asked her to do. It was such an amazing turnaround. She even started swimming a few yards on her own! She's having so much fun in the water now, and seems to feel comfortable. I'm super excited for her! Good job Claire! Bring on Catfish 3!
