Baby Swim II

We just finished up the second and final week of baby swim, and I'm really going to miss it, now that it's over. It was a really good experience for both of us. Freyja was able to learn a couple of skills and become comfortable with the pool, and it was great bonding time for the two of us. She really did seem to enjoy the water, and as the sessions progressed, she would actually cry when it was time to get out of the pool! I guess I have a little water baby on my hands!

At the end of each session, a lifegaurd blows a whistle to signify when all the different classes are supposed to exit the pool, and then shortly after, a second whistle to let the next classes know that they need to get in. On the last day after the first whistle, we all lingered in the pool, and tried to stay in the water as long as possible! I don't think any of us wanted baby swim to be over! Ha!

So, here are some photos from the last week. At the bottom, you can see Freyja's "pass card", which lists the skills she was able to learn over the course of the class. I think we'll sign up for baby swim again in the fall. Until then, we'll be swimming in the blow-up pool in the backyard, or at the YMCA, where I just recently got a free two-week trial membership. Yay!
