Yesterday Adriana had her very first private swim lesson and Gabriella had her first lesson of the year. Gabby of course loved it, and as expected, Adriana didn't enjoy it much. Like Gabby when she began private lessons, Adriana cried and fussed most of the time in the water. But, after a few more lessons, Adriana will begin to understand what her instructor is teaching her and hopefully will enjoy her time in and under the water.
Gabriella's lesson was first so that Adriana could watch her swim. Gabby loved all aspects of her lesson.
She is doing very well with her strokes and kicks. She loves to jump and dive into the water, too.
Our Little Fish!
Adriana had fun watching Gabby swim. We had to keep her away from the pool's edge because she wanted to get in and play. But, little did she know that she would be put under the water and on her back - things she hasn't done before. (Check out her red toenails - Daddy painted them a few days before. She watched Daddy paint Gabby's toenails and fingernails and demanded to be part of the fun. They turned out really cute!)
Adriana's first time doing a back float. Her instructor is teaching her this survival technique so that if she was ever unexpectedly in water and could not swim, or became fatigued while in water, she would know to turn to her back and float. It's so awesome to watch infants and babies learn these techniques at such a young age.
Under the water swimming to her instructor.
This one is so cute - her bottom is floating while her head is submerged. Adriana did very well for her first lesson. The girls have more lessons in the upcoming weeks. We'll post more photos again so you can see their progress.
