Lanie's 1st Swimming Lesson











Today was Lanie's first ISR (Infant Swimming Resourse) Lesson. It was quite an experience for the both of us. She didn't mind getting into the water, or going to the instructor, whom she had never met, she just had her own idea about what she wanted to do, and it didn't include the lesson for the day. Her instructor, Inga, was very patient, and Lanie really did well - although she cried throughout most of the lesson (her instructor assured me that was normal)! She learned to hold and pull herself up using her arms at the side of the pool which was pretty amazing to watch. She even held her breath several times when she went under, which is a skill that she will certainly have to perfect as she learns to swim over the next few weeks. Her lessons are weekdays for the next 6 weeks, so I will try and keep the blog updated as she progresses!
