Preschool swimming lessons

You might remember me posting several posts back about how Julia's swimming teacher said to enroll her into the Preschool class even though she is almost a year too young. Well, the Preschool swimming class started last night. Julia it GREAT!! There were only 5 kids in her class and 2 teachers, which was great! The pictures are poor quality because I was trying to stay far away so she would focus on the teacher and not pay attention to me. This is her first swimming class where I was not in the water with her. The teacher recognized Julia, came up, took Julia's hand and said "lets put our feet in the water". That was all the invite Julia needed and she was off. Did not even glance back at mommy, sniff...

She did great the entire class! She went underwater, she floated, she jumped in, she laid the sides of her head in the water, etc.. Only once did I see her cry, but I think it was because they made her hold hands with a boy! Boys are icky, don't you know?LOL The teacher was impressed and said she did really well.

Oh, several times the teacher had to carry the 3 girls in the class through water too deep for them to walk in. So she had them all wrap their arms around each other so they were all connected and carried them that way. It was so cute....

Waiting with one of her teachers for the class to start.

Julia's favorite part of swimming classes, the Froggy Slide!! I think she went down it 3 or 4 times. The teacher finally had to tell her that she was done and needed to go to her mommy!
