Good afternoon!! Hope your weeks are off to a great start!! Today I am so excited to update you all on E’s progress at Goldfish Swim School!  Lessons have been a little spotty with the arrival of Claire and adjusting to life with two under two, but the second we walk into Goldfish, E’s eyes light up and she picks up right where she left off!  Swim lessons have truly become a way for E and daddy to bond while I hang out behind the glass with Claire.  They practice kicking and pulling to get ready for lessons–so sweet.

Her newest skills:
can kick her feet and pull her arms when asked
can climb out of the pool with a little nudge
go under water without freaking out
swims to instructor and back (HUGE)
not losing her mind when she spots me behind the glass or when I come in and watch her the last five minutes (also huge)

Activities she loves:
going after the balls with the floaty barbell and putting them in the bucket
highfiving on the way into lessons
people watching
getting on the floaty duck and immediately jabbing her fist into the eye
getting in the canoe (THE BEST)

Still working on:
floating on her back

To take a look back at how far she’s come:

SO little in that first lesson!!  I love seeing how far she’s come, scared and only consoled by a baby doll to giggling and loving her time in the water!  Thank you so much, Goldfish for helping her overcome so many fears!!

Has your little overcome any fears this summer?  Such a special thing to watch them blossom and practice with their new confidence!

To find a location near you, head here!
Have a great day!

Oh my gosh you guys!  Happy Friday!  This is a post I have been dying to share with you all.  E’s first swim lessons!  When Goldfish Swim School contacted me to set up some lessons for E, I literally could not say yes fast enough.  Anyone we talk to said to get her signed up ASAP, that the teachers and staff there were literally the kindest and most effective swim teachers out there.  Well, let me just tell you.  We put them to the test on her first swim lesson.  She wasn’t too thrilled at the idea of getting in a pool.  Hello, winter baby!  But, y’all, the instructor we had could not have been sweeter about it.  He said it was fairly normal and he even let her have the baby that he uses to demonstrate to parents what to do in order to keep her somewhat calm.

Ok, fast forward one week to swim lesson #2.  I sat behind the glass (no swimsuit for me!!!) and got to watch Matt take E for her swim lesson.  I literally think my heart exploded into a thousand pieces watching them.  Yes, I was that parent.  They had an absolute blast.  No tears at all and she was already gaining so much confidence in the water.

We go again tomorrow and the instructor said we are going to try to go under water this time!!  I will keep you posted on that one 🙂  There’s also a roundup of cute swimwear for your little fishy here!

To see if there is a Goldfish Swim School near you check out their website–you won’t regret getting them started early!

I hope you all have an excellent weekend!
