Swim Lessons

Reagan has been taking swim lessons for eight days now. The first five days were HORRIBLE. She cried the entire time before, during, and after swimming. She has had such a fear of the water, getting her face wet, and going underwater. Miss Rachel has been so patient with her and has worked a miracle. Reagan has spent the past three days swimming happily, wanting to be the first to do everything, and cooperating very well WITHOUT CRYING!

She loves doing the kick board ... she has her tongue out every time she does this!
Learning how to swim on her back ... she does a really good job keeping her chin up high!
"Look how good I am doing!"

This first video is Reagan being "oh so brave." She was so anxious to the first one to jump to Miss Rachel, but once she got up there, she lost her nerve. She had to be pursuaded to jump in and swim. She was really nervous, but this was her first day of not crying the entire time. Once in the water, she did great. (She is the one in the yellow shirt).

This second video is part two of the jumping in lesson.
She swam to the other side and now she is on her own to jump in again!

We are so proud of you!
