We were all set to have Gracie begin a survival swimming class that would teach her what to do if she feel in and really how to survive if she had to. The program is wonderful but also very costly! After going back and forth with Kelly about it and much debating we decided not to do it. She's 4 and 1/2 now plus with our pool we swim pretty much every single day, sometimes twice a day. The program would work for her but is best to start at 1 year. So, Guess who has been her private lesson teacher? ME! I've been teaching her basic skills (pretty much she'd already learned) but she picks up on stuff so quickly. We still use the puddle jumper but she mostly swims without it. The puddle jumper makes us feel more secure. When she's without it you have to watch her like a hawk! So here they are... This was all yesterday...
She now swims in the deep end (with us right there) and can swim from one deep end side to the other deep in side. We always stay right there with her. I worry about her getting too tired so I watch her carefully and don't let her swim too long. Sometimes we'll be in the pool for 45 minutes to an hour but she's not swimming the whole time. I make her rest! Swimming does wear her out though. After nap swimming means she sleeps good at night :)
