I signed Rylee up again this summer for swimming lessons. She will learn to swim across the pool and turn over on her back to rest. I am very nervous, but know she will do great. I will take tons of pictures to show you. She doesn't start until April.

She'll do fine! I am a firm believer in teaching kids to swim while they are very young.

She'll have a blast and will do great! I agree with Karen, that all kids should take swimming lessons. Can't wait to see her in action!

She will just love it. Timmy's been taking lessons since he was about 2 1/2 and still loves it. He's learning slowly but they play alot too. So I guess they are teaching him how to swim and love the water.

Rayanne- my girls started at that age too and they are 16 now and this summer they can take their life guard certification.

Just wanted to tell you- sometimes starting early could make for a great summer job.

That's great, Rayanne! I remember that she did really well last year.

That sound like fun. She'll love it and thank you when she gets older that you helped her be a good swimmer.

I started taking my kids to swimming lessons from the time they were 6 months old. It was a mom and me class. At age 4, they were both jumping off the high dives into the 12 foot end and swimming better than most kids in junior high.
