Swimming Lessons




                                          Swimming lessons this year started out great!
                                                   We had excited kids and eager kids.
                                                         They were ready to learn.

And then day one Kylee lost it all! She cried and cried. She did not want to do it! Her group had 6 kids and 3 adults but the poor kid wanted nothing to do with it. Day 2 was the same. Day 3 she wanted to quit! I had a conversation with the instructors. I explained that Kylee had nearly drown 2 years before and was a little nervous in the water. The next day They assigned Pat to be Kylee's buddy. Which worked because Kylee has a thing for older men. He walked with her and talked to her and was low pressure while trying to get her to do some swimming. Day 5 was much the same as day 4.

By the second week Kylee would run to the water and jump in and out. She did not do everything that was asked but she had a major improvement! By the time it ended Kylee was begging for another session of swimming lessons. He instructors were wonderful and so great with her!!



Caleb just jumped right into swimming lessons! He did so great and loved every minute of it! He improved so much in the 2 weeks that he was there it was amazing! But he always has been my water baby!!!


Now Braeden enjoyed the water from a distance. He enjoyed sitting on the beach watching the big kids and working on his tan.



And now we are all tan and got to enjoy 10 beautiful days at West Dennis Beach!

I didn't know she almost drowned! I'm glad Kylee was brave and got over her fear! Go Kylee!
