Since Sarah started swim lessons a couple months she's learned quite a bit and has become quite comfortable in the water. She know what to do if she accidentally falls in, can swim to the side and pull herself out.
We decided to get a pool membership at The Retreat (gated community right next to us) for the summer. To give Sarah more experience in the water, on a more consistent basis (more than just 30 minutes a week) plus it's a nice place for us to spend the afternoon together as a family when the weather gets too hot. We've gone every weekend and even some nights after work! While Chris and I were on vacation, Grandma and Pop-Pop watched Sarah for us. They went to the pool everyday! Sarah LOVED it!!
She loves to jump in off the side, especially while holding her giant floating alligator! She swims underwater, even opening her eyes! She loves to stand on the steps, countdown from 10 and Blast Off!! She loves to watch the "big" kids do their tricks in the water...of course she then doesn't understand why she can't do them! We have to sometimes remind her that she's too little for some of that stuff. Today she tried to do the cannonball jumps like the big kids...she was standing on the edge of the pool trying to figure out how to hold her legs and jump in! So cute!!!
