For Kelsey's class, I would get in the water with her to sing songs and explore moving through the water. On Monday she started off crying hard for the first 15 minutes of her class then calmed down and did great. On Tuesday, she didn't cry at all and loved singing the songs with movements and splashing. The rest of the week she did great besides enjoying getting dunked and floating on her back :)
Macey did not enjoy much of her first swimming class on Monday :( It's a class where it's 3 & 4 yr olds with a teacher and helper. The kids are asked to hold onto the edge in the deep end as long as they can until it's their turn to work with the teacher. Macey flipped out about this! She screamed and screamed, trying to climb out constantly instead of relaxing and kicking her legs. By Tuesday, she learned to trust her teacher and swam great with her. She still wasn't fond of holding onto the edge. By the end of the week, she held onto the edge for a good portion of the class, floated on her back relaxed and used her arms and legs to swim. She made some HUGE steps during the week :)
That IS a smile :)
