Week 1= In the Books

So we have successfully completed week 1 of ISR. Anne Morgan did great. There were PLENTY of tears, don't get me wrong, but as far as her swimming goes she is amazing! She'll get used to the teacher and the tears will subside. In fact, she stopped crying for the last half of today's session. She is doing so well at holding her breath under the water, reaching for the edge of the pool to pull herself up and swimming/reaching for the teacher's hands from under water. She doesn't shy away from putting her face in the water either. There are many times she goes for it before the teacher even does it! Her teacher said that next week they will start on learning to float on her back. I pulled my phone out one day to take a video and a couple of pictures but was quickly asked not to video. The teacher said that she could get in a lot of trouble. I didn't really get any pictures either, as they do more I'll be sure to. Hopefully she will let me get a video at the end.

So since I can't share any "action shots" with you, I thought I'd show you some of her that I took before her lesson each day. I love little girl's swimsuits. I started taking pictures everyday before but then I realized I never took one today. And the ones I did take yesterday were before we left the house. It hit me that I probably shouldn't be taking pictures in the locker room.

Speaking of the locker room, this picture says it all..."Mommy! Do you see that naked old woman?" hahaaaha! She couldn't quit staring.

I am not kidding you, it was a bit of a shock to me too. I can't get over the number of people that shower at the gym. (and the showers look so gross! ugh!) The locker room stays packed with ladies who shower and get ready at the gym after their workout. And it is a lot of larger, old ladies. And they don't care that the towels don't cover them much at all. OK, I know, TMI, but I had to get that off of my chest.

I think it's wonderful that so many senior citizens are working out, men and women. But I must say that I think 95% of those who are exercising are at this gym!

I can't fix the red eye, sorry. These were all taken with my phone.

Don't you just love this cover up? It has a matching swimsuit underneath but I forgot to take a picture. And notice the ponytail? That never happens, she hates them, I think it's cute though!

Anyways, I know this isn't a great post, but I really just wanted to document her progress after one week of the class.
