Lizzy has been taking swimming lessons; she just finished her first week with one more week to go. She's doing great! We started her out in the Y3 Class (youth, level 3 of 6 levels). She was able to do everything in that class by the third day, so the teacher moved her into the next level up (Y4). What a difference! The first class was taught in the shallow pool, where the depth was about 4 feet. In her new class, it's 13 feet deep...in the deepest part of the lap pool!
Yesterday was her first day in that class, and the teacher said hello...and then told her to dive in and swim freestyle across the entire pool! As I sat watching in the bleachers, I thought to myself..."there is NO way she's going to do that." But, to my delight and surprise, she jumped right in and swam! Pretty cool! Lizzy also swam backstroke, and attempted the breast stroke. They also got to jump in from the 1 meter diving board, again..."there's no way Lizzy will do THAT!" Again...she did it, with only slight hesitation. Great job!! :)
The first picture is of Lizzy and her friend Jackson. He's taking lessons too!

Yay Lizzy!! That's exciting news to be told you get to move up to the next class! Trish and I basically began diving b/c of that very same thing. The coaches told our mom that we had exhausted the swim lessons and if we wanted to try something harder, that would definitely do it. :)
Cute pictures!
