Elisha's 1st Swim class

Finally we enrolled Elisha for swimming. We got her into the Waterbabies class. So its parent and child in the pool. Being the 1st class i wasnt tooo confident on going with her, so i roped praveen into doing it. and now that the class is done, i am kicking myself for not doing class 1 with her. well she has another 3 more this term.

How was she? erm not good at all initially. She was soooo scared. When we got into the pool area, she got very pale and wasnt smiling. Thats a sign that she is nervous and her brains going at a 1000miles. Into the water and she was screaming and crying. [at that point i was soo glad i wasnt dealing with it] Praveen did so well with her and in about 10minutes or so she was slowly calming down.

She did side to side, blowing bubbles into the water, got used to water being poured onto her head, floating on her back and front.

30mins later, class over and miss.elisha didnt want to get out of the pool. Hahah talk about having a change of mind. She was loving every minute of it. Initially she refused to go to the instructor. In the end she was jumping out to her. Then praveen had to take her to the big pool and play for somemore time and then we had to drag her out.

So our 1st class was a success and she loves her water. Hopefully she will enjoy it more and enjoy water as much as her parents do.

here are some picts we took.
