Swimming

Jan 22, 2012
On Friday I had my first swim lesson at school. Mom had purchased a new pink one-piece swim suit for class. They wear one-piece suits for class. We had to take a shower before we got in the swimming pool. Then we had to find flippers that fit our feet. The pool is smaller than the one at Western State but very, very warm. Even though it was outside and snow on the ground, I was still pretty warm.
We started by swimming a few laps without flippers. Then the whole class held hands and swam in a circle. Once we stirred up the water, we let go of each other and we went underwater. When we came up for air, we had moved to another place. That was very cool. We did it a few more times. The teacher had us swim back and forth across the short side of the pool in pairs. I was number one. Near the end, we got to hang out and play around. I back-floated with Erla in the deep end. When we got out, I rinsed off and got ready to head to the bus and go home. It was time for a real shower at home.
