No so fun swimming lesson

Hello all,

I was asked to attend my daughter's swimming lesson today. It seems she is very afraid of putting her head under water. For an hour today she cried as she clung to the side of the pool. Ali loves the water. She just doesn't like getting her hair wet.

After her lesson, the lifeguard asked if Jen and I could work with her on this. It should only take a few trips to the pool to cure her of her fear. I was told to have Ali hold on to me and take a breath and then submerge for a second and resurface. After a few successful trips under water, she is then to blow the air out and make bubbles. Simple enough...

I'll keep you up to date on how Ali is progressing with her latest task.
