Swimming Lessons

Lillian started swimming lessons only 3 weeks ago.  These are different than your normal lessons; they are infant survival.  Lessons are held Monday through Fridays for less than 10 min a day.  She is not cued on what to do verbally only by small touches.  Lillian has learned how to hold/pull herself up the stairs, hold her breath and "swim" on her belly and roll over and float on her back to catch her breath.  The first couple days were the roughest for me, I could see panic in her face at times but knew she had to figure things out on her own in order for her to remember it.  She would cry/whine during every lesson but now she is happy and it all makes sense as to why she does each activity.  Here is video of her swimming for just 3 weeks!  

If you would like more information on these lessons please visit: http://www.infantswim.com/.  
On that website you can find a local swim instructor.  If you are in the San Diego area looking for lessons you can contact Samantha Bense from the website.  Infant Swim Rescue is designed and takes a stand so children do not drown.  I am confident if Lillian ever found herself falling in a pool she would be able to hold her breath, roll over on her back and float until help arrived.  Once her lessons are finished she will be able to swim to the wall or stairs, rolling on her back to catch her breath.
