I enrolled Peanut in another swim lesson class. This time, it was at the Racquet Club. Those in this area realize that the last two weeks have been rainy. Luckily, the class was only rained out one day, but unfortunately, the kids only got two days of sunshine.
I think Peanut did improve. She is more confident in the water, which isn't really a good thing when your fear is pretty minimal to begin with. All during her class it was a struggle to keep her sitting on the wall because she kept jumping in so she could "blow bubbles." She can, if prompted, "swim" a little bit.
My goal at the end of the summer was to have her able to get to the side of the wall should she fall in. The last day of lessons right after her teacher swam with her the last time, she jumped in to blow bubbles. Unfortunately, this time, she jumped a little too far from the wall and couldn't get to the edge. I was able to pull her out without her being in the water too long, but not without me sliding, scraping my knee and thigh (?), and getting my head and shoulder in the pool. I probably should have slowed down so I wouldn't get hurt, and she would learn a bit of a lesson in DOING WHAT ADULTS TELL YOU TO DO.
