Splish splash

Ashlynn recently completed her fist swim class this spring at the YMCA. Last year she was fearless when it came to water, run right in to the ocean, so I was expecting no less this summer. I guess now that she's two she is more aware of her surroundings and the threats they can pose. So day one she was really clingy, but after assuring her I would not let her drown, she relaxed and became a very good student.



The class size was great, only six children and their parent, and the instructor was really enthusiastic and child friendly. Ashlynn really liked him and she learned a lot: kicking, arms, and blowing bubbles, and just to be more comfortable with the water again. My goal is to have her swimming solo by next summer.
