Swimming lessons for Hayden

It's that time of the year again!  

We had Coach Sean last year, this year Hayden's lessons were with Miss Suzy!  I signed her up for private lessons, which are only 10 minutes, 4 days a week.  A lot of people are skeptical about how much progress can be made with only 10 minute lessons, but really it's more undivided attention than you'd get in a class setting and 10 minutes is the perfect amount of time before their little bodies are spent!

Hayden was a crazy little fishy last year so imagine my surprise when she was hesitant to even get IN the water at first!!  Then she insisted that she "couldn't do it," and needed Suzy to hold onto her.  Each lesson, Hayden got more and more comfortable and I was completely blown away how quickly she was catching on!   



Floating all by herself!!

Preston took one session of lessons for a refresher course.  He did awesome!
Suzy always used Preston as an example to the other kids in the class.

This video shows the amazing things that have happened in JUST two weeks!

First session complete!

Second session of swimming lessons, I started Hayden out in a group class with other 2-3 year olds.  Even after one session of private lessons, she was MILES ahead of the other kids so I switched her back into private lessons.  It's worth the cost for the one-on-one time!

Diving in to get the ring~

Big monster arms to Miss Suzy then rolling over to back float!
We love Suzy and Sean for teaching our little ones how to be water safe!

Second session complete!!  She's back to her little fishy self!
