Maggie has been taking swimming lessons at Foss in Woodbury
for 8-9 weeks now. We still have a few
lessons left but it is crazy how much she has progressed. Just this last Saturday the teacher was
helping her back float and moved her hands out from underneath and Maggie was floating
on her own. To think she is that relaxed
in the water to just lay there and float…she has come a long way. This is also the first set of lessons she has
had where they are actually learning to swim and work on strokes. The first few weeks trying to remember to
stick her face in the water, kick, and do “scoops” with her arms all at the
same time were definitely challenging.
We are getting really close to putting all 3 together and looking like a
“real” swimmer. We are so proud of her…of course we still wish the
progress was faster…as these lesson are expensive!
The nicest thing about the lessons as that at her age group they have a maximum class size of 3.
Maggie has no fear of putting her face in the water but every time she comes up she is quick to wipe her eyes and her hair out of her face.
