Our guppy turns into a goldfish

The past two summers Riley and I have taken mommy and me swim lessons, but this year she was old enough to do lessons on her own!  So back to Houston Swim club we went although this year we tried a different location (due to scheduling.)

To start off the lessons, Riley had to go every day for 2 weeks and then transitioned to once/week.  She cried the first day only after two other girls in her class started screaming and then cried for the next 2 days for a few minutes at the beginning but by the fourth day there were no tears!! She made huge progress in the 2 week lessons!! Riley is very good at blowing bubbles, kicking, and row rowing her arms.  She will float on her back on her own and can swim on her own about 5 feet!!

She LOVES to swim!! And I am so thankful she does, my only issue is now she has absolutely NO fear of the water.  This is good but also scary.  We have to watch her like a hawk, I mean we always have but now she is just so much more confident in the water than before.

One of her favorite things about the lessons...a Dora doll! :)





We are so proud of Riley!  She learned so much in just one and a half months.  We are taking July off because we have been so busy but will start back in August.  I am confident she will be swimming on her own very soon.
