Pure, Unadulterated Parental Pride


Emma scored a private lesson w/ her swim teacher, Mr. Hal today since the other two girls didn't show. They had a really good lesson! Hal called me in after it was over & coached Emma in showing off what they'd been working on. She really is confident now in the crawl and easily goes from one side of the pool to the other. They're working on breathing now with that. She can also flip over in the middle of that to her back, do a sort of backstroke on her own and flip back over--its' awesome! AND she can do an amazing push off from the wall. He said she's really learned amazingly quickly this summer, which just confirmed what I'd been thinking, too, given that at the beginning of the summer, it always felt to me like she was within an inch of her life in the water. Anyway, we're now the proud parents of a Giggle Duck (after only 5 wks. of lessons)!!
