Lanie's 3rd Day of Lessons went well. Inga worked with her more on getting her to hold onto the wall, holding her breath when she goes under, floating on her back, and then going from back to a "little swim" to get her to the side of the pool. Eventually, this is the sequence that she will learn to perfect as the lessons progress over the next few weeks. From a floating on her back position, to a face down "little swim" position with a few kicks, then back to a floating position, until she can get herself to the side of the pool, or be rescued. It's hard to believe that she can even be learning anything at all as much crying as she is doing, but as we watch the lessons that come after hers I am reassured that all of the new students her age react this way, Lanie does seem to be a little more verbal than the others, and a little more dramatic! : )
