We typically do swim lessons in the summer but planning ahead to having this baby Im not sure how I will be feeling or what we our schedule will be like with building the house so we decided to do swim lessons now. The girls we so excited and ask everyday if they get to go to swim lessons today. They go 2 times a week for 6 weeks which makes it nice since its not everyday. This is the first time Gracie has done a class by herself the last classes she has done we have done a mommy and me class while Hallie had class. So Gracie is a level 1 and Hallie is a level 2. These pictures are the first day. At the beginning of the lesson the kids gather round and have what they call "whales tales" which is essentially talking about water safety and how we can be safer around the water.
Then they broke into their classes. Gracie's class only lasts 30 minutes and Hallie's 45 minutes. It works out well since I can take Gracie and get her changed and then come back for Hallie.

Our 1st week of swim lessons were a complete success and quite enjoyable for all of us.
Its crazy to me to think about swim lessons in Feb but the weather makes it hard not to think about it. Im grateful that we are able to let the girls do activities like this that they really enjoy. We spend so much time around the water I want them to know what they need to do if they get into a situation and know how to be the safest.
