The First Swimming Lesson is Over ...

Sianna started swimming lessons today.  She is signed up for a series of 3 lessons at the Brophy Prep Sports Campus.  Her teacher's name is Jill.  Each lesson is 30 minutes long.  Since the pool is deep, Jill put a "tower" in the water allowing Sianna to stand up with the water shoulder-deep.  Sianna loves the water, but never learned how to swim.  She was timid putting her head under water.  She learned how to blow bubbles, kick and paddle her arms.  I'm sure that after the 3 lessons are up, Sianna will be able to move around the water on her own.  She also practiced floating somewhat.  I worked with Sianna for another half hour in the pool after her lesson was over, so she had a good hour in the water.  Check out her  new bathing suit ...

After swimming, we came back to my house.  Sianna had not seen Ron for several weeks as he was in Singapore.  We made lunch (eggs) and Ron gave Sianna a small present he bought for her.

We then read some more of our book on Dogs and drew a few more animals  before heading off to Pierce Park with her bike.  It was so hot (102 degrees), so we didn't stay too long at Pierce Park.  We went for ice-cream to beat the heat at Cold Stone Creamery.  Sianna fell asleep in the car ride home, so the day was exhausting.  Next week her swimming lesson is at 9:30AM.  She can't wait!
