Swimming Lessons

The girls started swimming lessons on Monday. Allie of course has always loved the water, but Kayla has grown so much since last summer. She will do anything the teachers ask, and she spends all her free time practicing holding her breath under water and swimming like a fish. I scheduled their lesson at the Pratt Aquatic Center in Tooele so they are indoors. I didn't want to have to worry about the weather-cold or hot. It's also so nice not to have to worry about Allie and sunscreen. I also decided to try 5-5:45 lessons. Daddy got to come and watch both Mon and Tues which was nice. Plus Tuesday we just stayed after and enjoyed open swim as a family. The kids get to swim free on lesson days. So for $4 we had a fun family night.

Kayla making sure we're watching her during free time.

I didn't really get any pictures during the lesson part, but as you can tell they love being in the water.

Allie coming to get taken to the bathroom. She talks so much, she forgets to close her mouth. She swallowed so much water that first day, she had to go to the bathroom 3 times in 45 minutes. GROSS! She's getting better every day, but still... GROSS!
