Swimming Lessons

We love the park districts here in Chicago. They have really REALLY affordable classes for Marin. This Fall she is going to be a busy little girl with gymnastics on Mondays, swimming lessons on Tuesdays, Tot Play Group on Thursdays, and an arts and crafts class on Friday. They are only about 45 minutes to an hour long and gives us a chance to get out and play with other little kiddos. Today was her first swimming class. She loved it. It really was cute. They sang songs with the swimming lessons. 

Getting used to the water and waiting for the teacher.

Practicing blowing bubbles like the fish.

Listening for fish....

Humpty Dumpty sat (or stood) on a wall,
Humpty Dumpty had a great fall. Splash! 

They each got a toy to throw and then practiced kicking to get it. 

They were supposed to put the noodle under their arms and practice doing strokes with her arms.
She is still a bit to little for this one so she just played.

She floated on top of a crab during "free swim". 

Practiced her kicks....
