Swimming lessons

Ava and Olivia had their first swimming lessons last weekend. The classes offer one-on-one instruction, and are relatively short at just 15 minutes.

Ava jumped right in, and selected a hot pink pair of swim goggles.

I thought we’d have to restrain Olivia until her turn came around.

Of course, when it was her turn, she was suddenly filled with trepidation.

The instructor was very reassuring, plus she kept telling me how cute Olivia is.  That kept me pretty happy.

Olivia kept covering her eyes—I think the whole experience was a bit overwhelming.

Both girls did well, though, and we return for another set of lessons on Sunday.
