Scenes From Swimming Lessons

This is Allie's third summer taking swimming lessons through our Parks & Recreation Department. She gets more and more comfortable in the water every day. Today was the last day of lessons for the summer and she passed all her tests to complete Level 1 of the American Red Cross Learn-to-Swim program.

I did not originally sign Meredith up for lessons this year. I was planning to start her next summer, when she would be 4 years old. But seeing Allie go to lessons everyday made her want to join in the fun too. So halfway through the three week session, I signed her up. She was instantly comfortable with the instructor, doing everything that she asked her to do.
