Swimming Lessons

We had been debating for a long time about which activity to try Angel with first....she wants to do it all...swimming, ballet, gymnastics etc. So we finally decided to try swimming as a class was just starting. Our local YMCA only starts lessons when you turn six. But the actual pool they use started classes as infants and up, however I had been warned they were not as good as the classes at the Y. But we decided to give it a try....Angel LOVED the water. There were only 5 kids in the class and she was so excited to go and just soaked up all the activity. However, the instructor was HORRIBLE. No introductions, no instructions....no explanations and these are 3-5 year olds!! Angel had no idea what she meant when she said "Walk on the wall!" Poor kid. So...even though she loved the water, it was NOT worth the money for such a cold class...I want her to LEARN about what she is doing and water safety etc. I can teach a better class for her for FREE than that. So we canceled the classes....but hope to get to the $1 swim nights on Wednesdays and do our own class. Or I hope that we can get to base with my mom and Alli and I can teach Emma and Angelica....and my mom thinks the base has some good classes. If anyone knows of anything else available locally, let me know.

So excited for her lesson
