Isabella, the fish!

 Isabella took swimming lessons the entire month of June.  We signed her up at a day care, just down the street from our house.  During the summer, this day care provides Red Cross Certified swimming instructors to teach kids, starting at age 3.  The child does not have to go to that day care full time, to take the lessons. 
Her lessons were everyday, Monday thru Friday for 30 minutes.  Even though it became a nuisance to go everyday, the outcome was amazing!  Parents were not allowed into the lesson, except twice.  The last day is when most of the pictures were taken.  She was so proud when she finished everything the instructor had her do, she just looked at Gianna and I and smiled.  Then she would shout out a little scream of excitment!
 Isabella did not swim at all before the class started.  Now, she can swim well, pick up rings under water and float on her back all by herself.  It has really helped her confidence in the water.  Plus, this year, she is finally tall enough to stand in the 3ft part of the pool! 
She just beams when she talks about how she can swim now!
