Blaine took the morning off work to go to Presley's new swim class last Thursday. About 4 weeks ago, she was moved up to the next level class. The last couple of months in her old class, Presley had started to get really frustrated. She was so far ahead of the other kids and just kept throwing herself underwater so she could swim all by herself. Even though she was a little young, her instructor suggested we go ahead and move her up to the next level. I was a little worried because she is the youngest one in the class and I didn't know if she would be able to keep up. To my surprise, she was still the most advanced...even in the new class! While so many of the other kids are still afraid to get their face wet, Presley is plunging herself underwater and swimming a good 6-8 feel all on her own. She can hold her breath for about 7 seconds and LOVES to be underwater!
Presley getting a little instruction from her teacher, Ms. Bonnie.
Back float time! She's learning how to breath through her mouth when she rolls over on her back. This way, when she is swimming underwater she can come to the surface, roll over on her back to take a break and take a few breaths without getting water in her nose.
Practicing her kicking while she swims. I love how you can tell from Blaine's cheeks that he is also holding his breath while Presley is underwater...so cute!
Yep, that's Pres underwater picking rings up off the bottom of the pool! She's the only one in the class that can do it and it's her favorite part!!! I can't emphasize enough what a little fish she is!
