Infant Swim Rescue classes

A little over a week in and I'm very impressed.  Days 3 and 4 were tough...lots of tears from Reese, but this week has seen a shift and while Reese isn't loving it, she's going without any fuss and talks about Mr. Chuck constantly.  Even when she was sobbing in the water last week she would tell Mr. Chuck she just wanted a hug.  When she's done with her lesson she's so incredibly proud of herself and bragging to anyone who will listen that she 'went underwater'.  And if you could see the petite little 24 month old who goes before us full on swimming, you'd be a believer and all but throwing your cash at the man.   Yesterday's session via collage:
Emerson is enamored with the man too... He's already eyeing her up for lessons next spring!  And at a swim camp across town, while Miss Ryan is having a ton of fun, I'm not sure she's progressing as fast as her parents would like.....she'll go underwater but she's still struggling with keeping her head under water and gliding.  Good thing she'll be accompanying me for the next four weeks to watch Reese and you bet your swim goggles, I'll bring the girl in her bathing suit so she can sit in the water and see Reese whiz by.....and Mr. Chuck rocks in the sense that he will always take a minute or two to work with siblings if they are along for the ride.
