My kids started swimming lessons 2 weeks ago.They both cried their eyes out the first day. I love their teacher she is a very good swim instructor, the classes were supposed to last one half hour but because they cried the whole time she made them stay for the next class. She called me that night and said she wanted them to stay for a whole hour the next 2 weeks cuz she thought they needed the extra time in the water. By the time the 2 weeks were over they loved it, they were treading water, jumping off the diving board and Kenlee could swim the whole length of the pool just like an Olympian! (is that a word?)
