Sadie's Final Swim Lesson 2/28/09


Sadie had her final survival swim lesson in "winter clothes" including a regular diaper. The day before she did summer clothes. They do this to get them used to the extra weight and wetness since she will most likely not fall in in a bathing suit! They also practiced dropping her in various ways to make sure she could find up regardless of how she falls. Pretty impressive that someone so young can learn this!! She is a rockstar and now I am confident she would know what to do!!

BTW, the beeping is because it is the end of the lesson, that is the timer.
