Swimming lesson

Hey
Thanks to everyone who reads my blog.

Here is an update on one of my goals for this summer. I am learning how to swim. This week was my first swim lesson. I learned how to do a back float and a front float. I also went underwater which is a huge step for me. I learned the front glide and back glide.

For my second swimming lesson i did my floats and practiced my glides. I learned how to do a side glide. I also did underwater bobs. Going in under the water twice. I also learned how to transfer from a front glide into a side glide. I am doing pretty good with swimming. I am getting less afraid of the water. I am doing my swimming lessons in our pool at home.

With my third swimming lesson I am learning how to go to the side to breath. My glides are getting better. Last night I did 10 bobs in a row with just one breath break. Still trying to do my floats. Swimming and going underwater is scary by I am learning to work through it. It gets less scary the more I do it. Don't let your fears get in the way of learning something new!

Stay tuned for another goal update tomorrow.

Here is a photo of me practicing my back glides.

Here is a video of me working on my front glides. Today was the first day of swimming all the way through the middle of the pool where it is deepest. This was always one of my fears. Yay I did it, another thing off the list!
