Free for Me Friday – She’s a Swimmer!

I’m so proud of my muchkin. Today she received her 1st certificate – not counting her birth certificate! She received her Little Swimmers Certificate for completing a week of swimming lessons! She’s just 20 months and can already save herself in the water. Through this intensive week of lessons she learned how to swim underwater to the wall and pull herself up. It was emotional – she cried for me everyday. She was understandable scared, however as the days went on she enjoyed it more and more. At the end not only did she get the certificate – but much more importantly she learned to defend herself if she were to fall into the pool! I couldn’t be prouder!!

Over the coming weeks I will devote a number of postings on the importance of swimming and pool safety.

Have a great weekend!
