Do I Know how to swim? Will my children know how to swim??

[ladysylpher]

Yes I know how to swim.  My mom put me in swim lessons at maybe 4 or 5 yrs old. For some reason I never passed the first lesson to move on. I never liked going underwater and 1 time my mom had to pick me up kicking and screaming and threw me in!! I know other parents looked at her like she was cruel but shes really not.  At about 8, we lived in apt complex for a short time. One time my Dad took me down to the pool, he was busy reading a magazine or newspaper and I took off my floaties and went into the deep end. I basically taught myself and ever since then I've been an excellent swimmer. I've even gone swimming in the Pacific Ocean from living in Cali.

My husband cannot swim for anything. He says he sinks like a rock.

Now the reason I did todays journal theme is............  On Monday March 16th at 5:30pm my 3 yr old DD Serenity will be starting swim lessons at the YMCA! I am so excited. And I'm not entirely sure how she will do, but she loves the water, as long as she can handle that I am not going to get in with her and she will be with other kids around her age and she has to listen to what the instructor says.

If she doesn't handle it well, I am going to pull her out and try next year. Transfer her to the Yoga/Art class for Preschoolers at the YMCA instead.  So wish her luck on monday, thanks!!
