Swimming Update

I was scheduled to begin swimming lessons on July 7th, however the organization I was taking classes through had to get approval to use the pool which took longer than anticipated, so the lessons were pushed back to July 14th.  July 14th came and the instructor didn't.  There was another instructor present, doing private swimming lessons who felt bad for us and gave us some basic tips on holding our breath, kicking our legs, and pushing off the wall to glide through the water.

This past weekend, the instructor did show up.  There was a mis-communication and while we (the students) were informed of the class, the instructor was not.  So my first "official" lesson went well.  I learned how to breathe underwater for an extended period of time, how to hold my breath (and let it out under water) while kicking my legs, how to move my arms, and how to put it all together and push off the wall and SWIM!  I really enjoyed myself and I'm looking forward to being as good as my little fish, Lyss.
