off the diving board! Though it may look as if she is falling off, she is actually jumping off! WhooHoo! And, the best part - she loved it and did it several times. She also did a little swimming w/o her floaties in the 3ft end where she can touch. She is getting her dogie paddle down pat! I am so proud of her!
With her learning to swim reminds me of the swimming lessons I took when I was smaller. Having a summer birthday, my parents got my sister & I swimming lessons one year. I believe my sister & I came out ahead on that deal rather than the instructor teaching us. When the instructor gave us a task, such as going under water, I would refuse. So, she would bribe us - I will give you $ if you do it, and under I would go! That worked for a little while, but then the instructor called my bluff. When I would perform a simple task, she got me out of the pool & tossed me in the deeper end. She knew I could swim & wanted to prove it to me.
