Golden Guppy lessons

So we took Addie to a swim assessment at Notre Dame in August and she was classified as a golden guppy.  She was able to blow bubbles and go under water, but not float by herself.  She would need to go to a parent/child class.  Jeremy got us set up for class lessons for every Sunday in September.  We love it as the class is small and even though there are 6 kids in the class, there are 4 instructors so it is hands on training. 

Addie has been learning to back float (gotta keep those hips up)!
using a flotation device
glides on her back
glides on her side and switch to her stomach
jumping in the water (the timber game)
blowing bubbles and head in the water
kick while floating
using her arms (out of the water... not doggie paddle).. big ice cream scoops!  She is trying at this but really needs to get those arms out!

She likes going to swimming lessons and even though this session just ended and new one starts late October, we will be going again.
