I love the Red Cross

They have swimming lessons for all of the pools in town for a really cheap price. We're going to take Sam, (who is 4) for eight weeks of lessons. Total cost: 8 bucks. So by the end of the summer she's going to be quite the swimmer. Do you believe that. They try to promote more swimming lessons, so there will be less drowning every summer. We have neighbors who have invited Sam to go swimming next door every morning, but I told them until she swims, I don't know how I feel about it. Even with me there, I just would feel better having the lessons. She's so excited. She'll go every day, five days a week for eight weeks. The woman (from the Red Cross) I talked to said either an hour or an hour and a half each day. That will give her something to look forward to every day until she starts pre-school in Sept. She can't wait for that either. :) The summer is looking up. Woo Hoo.

Hugs, Patt

I think that's wonderful! I remember taking lessons at the YMCA, but the Red Cross is even better.

We're so excited. Now let's just hope she does well and doesn't freak out with learning. She's young, that's the best time to start them in lessons, don't you think?

Oh, I do, indeed. She should do great! She'll be a little mermaid before it's over.

That's great! Every kid should know how to swim and it sounds like she's going to have a lot of fun doing so. =>}

She's so darn excited, not scared at all. She's been practicing putting her head under water so she'll be prepared. She does it really well. She seems to have no fear, so we're hoping she does just fine. After eight weeks, she should be swimming pretty well.
Hugs, Patt
