So last summer we took swim lessons at a local pool, and Evie got pretty comfortable in the water. She's never seemed upset about having water in her face, and she's never nervous in water. Well this summer I'm pretty sure she's turned part fish! We've been swimming in big pools a few times, and within the last month she's insisted on being on her own in the pool.
We started out with bigger flotation devices, but she wanted to swim, so we tried arm floaties. Evie now swims on her own in the pool with just arm floaties, it's crazy!! She kicks her feet and can swim with purpose and direction all over the pool. Obviously we watch her and stay close so we can grab her if we need to, but she's very confident and unafraid which is fun to see. The funny part is I'm not that great of a swimmer myself, so I think she'll surpass me soon. :) We're working on blowing air out when her face is in the water, but even now she's pretty good at not breathing in underwater. It's amazing to see her do all this at such a young age!
