Swim Lessons #1

Once Anniston was 10 months old, she could start swim lessons.  Since we are not blessed with a pool in the back yard, Andrea found a place locally called SeaVentures that does swim lessons for all ages at an indoor pool.  I was not available to take pictures for the first swim lesson session.  I was there for the second session so that I could take a few pictures of Anniston in the pool with mommy.

At the beginning she is a little hesitant about where she is, and what is going on. She is a little un-trusting, but in mommies arms she knows she is safe.

Once she warms up a little and gets used to the water, she starts to have fun.  We are trying to get her to learn to kick her feet, and splash her arms.  She caught on to the splash your arms part pretty fast.  

At 10 months, she is still very unsure of strangers, despite the friendly teacher Mrs. Karen, Anniston was having nothing to do with being taught to swim by anyone other than mommy.  

 In her third swim lesson, I got in the pool with Anniston.  I started out in the pool without my glasses...and she was not sure who I was, and wanted out.  She is not used to seeing me without my glasses on.  I think it scared the poor thing.  Glasses on, she decided that I was in fact Daddy, and was ok with being in the pool with me.  We continued to work on her kicking and splashin...mostly splashin!
