Our Little Mermaid


We signed Avery up for some private lessons this summer - thanks from the tip of our good friend Kim, we were able to get her in on 1 on 1 lessons! I could not have been more happy with this choice. Avery took to Mrs. Shelley very well from the first time she was asked to get in the water! It was amazing. She listened so well and did everything she was asked! I am so proud of her for being so BRAVE and to willingly do what I know is a scary thing for a 4 year old - to swim alone.  I say that the timing was just perfect for Avery. She was just at that great time where everything really started to click and she really wanted to learn.

Avery, I am beyond proud of you! You showed Mommy a side of you that I haven't seen before! You were BRAVE and FEARLESS! I love that! The best thing was the smile on your face, when you realized that you were doing it on your own! PRICELESS!!

Love you baby girl, here are some pictures from the last day of class.

Daddy & Riley watching on the last day of lessons.
Jumping off the side and learning to swim back to the side or reach for the steps/ladder.
Diving for rings. She LOVES this new trick!
