Lanie's Second Day of Swimming Lessons!

Today's Swimming Lessons went pretty much the same as yesterday. Inga worked with Lanie again on getting her to grab the side of the pool and pull herself up out of the water (the technique that you will see in the top video clip). Also, today, she worked on getting Lanie to hold her breath when she went under to minimize the water that she swallows! She did well with this which you can see a little of in one of the video clips (the lower video clip), and Lanie also surprised her that she already knew how to kick....Yea, I've known she was good at that before she was even born, and if you've ever seen her mad, you know she can kick... and as you can see from the video, the lessons DO make her a little MAD! Again, the Instructor assured me that this was normal, and that the first week, sometimes two weeks of lessons were like this and then after that they begin to enjoy it ---- sounds like I'm in for some fun for another week or so! : ) In both video clips I also got a shot of Luke, another ISR student who is 14 months old, his lessons are right after Lanie's and his responses are very much the same as hers, just not quite as dramatic!
