Brianna took some swim lessons this year... they were survival swimming skills, so at the end of the lessons, she practiced floating in all her clothes and shoes. This is to help them have defensive reflexes in case they fall into a pool or other body of water. They are taught to turn on their backs and float. They are also taught to look underwater for a way out and how to grab the side and hold on. Brianna wasn't quite ready to swim ( she wasn't into kicking!!) so we will do that at a refresher course next year. The first 3-4 weeks were so difficult for me, because she cried a ton! But by the end, she was so proud of herself.... and would have fun and want to get back in the water. It was all worth it.... but for a while there I didn't think I could make it! ; )
