Swim Lessons

I taught 3 weeks worth of swim lessons this summer and let Hayden come along to all my lessons, but you can never teach your own child!  Hayden made some improvements and got a lot more comfortable dunking her head under water, but I knew she could do a lot more with another teacher.

I asked a lady in our ward, Mrs. Lisa, who teaches private lessons and she was kind enough to take Hayden on.  In just about 6 or 7 lessons Hayden was floating independently on her back and jumping of the stairs, streamlining and kicking on her own.  It was pretty exciting to watch her growth in such a short amount of time.

Hayden is kind of obsessed with mermaids right now, so this has been good motivation for her to learn how to swim!
