Hannah had her first swimming lesson today. She did great! She was swimming and going under the water, she was jumping off the side (at which point Colby told me to relax, she would be fine) and diving too with the instructor's help. She must have climbed out of the pool by pulling herself up and out about 10 times. She said it was good, we took a shower at the place and then she almost collapsed. She was totally exhausted. We picked up a pizza on the way home, and she could barely stay awake for the ride. She asked if the lessons had to be so late at night (it was 4pm.) She sat on Dave's lap and ate half a piece of pizza when we got home, then topped it off with a cupcake. I was planning on putting her right to bed after that, around 6pm, but she picked up some energy and said she felt better after she ate. She ended up gong to bed around 7:30pm.
I think these lessons will do alot to increase her strength and stamina. They are 1/2 hour lessons, once a week for 6 weeks. We may continue them after that, and maybe even increase the frequency also. She did really enjoy herself.
Colby and I intended to take pictures today but were too wrapped up in watching her during the lesson, maybe next time. We have this whole week off of school, but things to do nearly every day like riding, planning for the science fair, more riding, visit with Sarah hopefully, and more riding. It's nice to have some down time with them.
