Kenya's swim lessons.

For the last 2 weeks Kenya was doing swim lessons.  It was a great experience.  She got to for 9 days and her good friend Hannah was able to join her class.  Kenya had a blast.  It was something that she got to do all by herself.  Mommy and Jasmin just sat on the side of the pool and watched.
From the very first day she did great!  She liked the water but would sometime get a little nervous.  The girls who were her teacher did an awesome job at warming the kids up to the water and they stated in teaching on the first day.

This was right after her first lesson.  Look how happy and proud she was!

Kenya and Hannah after class.  The water was so warm that they were often cold when they got out and huddled in towels.

So cute!  She is growing up so fast!

 

In this video her class went out for a ride as a train. Yes at the very end that is her yelling " Chugga chugga choo choo!"

This is the last day of class and the girls were getting ready to go down the slide.

SISTERS!!  Love it!  Kenya and Jasmin walking to the car on the last day of swim lessons. 

 Kenya went of the diving board 2 times on the last day of class.  The second time she did it all by herself.  Way to go Kenya!

By the end of the lessons Kenya could hold her breath under water for 7 seconds (that is what they counted I think she could do more if she tried) and was floating by herself on her back and stomach for a short time.  Really all by herself with no floatation devices.  No actually swimming yet, but she is well on her way.  I signed her up for lessons again at the end of July for level 2. 
I am so proud of Kenya and the way she behaved in class!  She did a great job listening and get along with others!!
