First Day of Swimming Lessons

We had our first day of swimming lessons on Monday, we are at the same teacher that Elizabeth had last year. We knew everyone except for one little girl this year! From left to right we have Drew (our cousin), Maci (a friend), Baylee (a friend), Elizabeth, Josh (our cousin - look at his sad face :( ) and Elliott (a friend). It was great knowing so many kids this year!
This is our group from last year - they don't look too different in my opinion! Drew is on the left, then Elliott, Elizabeth, ?, and Maci.

Elizabeth with her face in the water, kicking those little legs.

Practicing their kicking.

Getting their chins wet - this is the first step to getting their heads in the water.

I had to add this last picture. The kids all get a choice of their favorite activity at the end of the lesson. Most of the kids hold the little kick board and float around, but Baylee was very brave and chose the diving board. Elizabeth was very impressed that Baylee was so brave! They all did very well on their first day!
