Summer Swim

This summer I decided it was time for Ellie to learn to have some water safety skills taught to her as well as some swim techniques. I know swim lessons are expensive but they are so worth the time and money. This skill of swimming will forever be a safety skill that all children need to learn. Ellie has improved tremendously in the water. She has gone from not wanting to put her head in the water, to swimming out on her own and loving her goggles! I am so glad that we did these swim lessons! If she didn't learn her strokes, atleast she has gained confidence in the water! This is what we have been up to this last month and a half! Lots of SWIMMING! The streamline position
The push and kick

The smooth glide in


The exasperated finale



And of course the girly vogue shot! Ellie's thinking: "Thanks mom! You're the best!)

Awwwwwww, Ellie looks so cute! So great she's come so far! We're switching teachers because Brooke's teacher "lacks structure," to put it nicely . . .
