maiafish

Look who got her level 1 swimming this week. At the beginning of lessons, it was a stretch for Maia just to blow bubbles in the water or to submerge her whole head. The week after lessons ended we camped on Lake Huron and went swimming twice a day. Different kid in the water! Now she'll tell me to back up -- back UP! -- until I'm metres away and then swim underwater the whole way to me. Reminded me of when I was a kid. I would mostly swim underwater. (I think I once swam 3 lengths of the pool without coming up for air. Does anyone in my family remember this?)

Anyways, huge progress for this little fish in such a short time! I'm a proud watermama.
