Last month, Micah took swim lessons. She went every day for one week and spent 30 minutes with her teacher each time.
It was seriously the perfect scenario for Micah. One on one which meant that she got plenty of attention and couldn't just play off in a corner instead of actually participate, and only half an hour which meant it wasn't too much of a stretch for her to pay attention.
Her teacher was absolutely precious and wonderful to Micah. She is a high school student, and I actually knew her when she was Micah's age. Crazy. And makes me feel a little old.
Our main goal was not for Micah to learn to swim laps but for her to obtain a higher level of comfort in the water. She has always been timid and a little anxious in the water, so we wanted to help her to see that she could float or even swim if needed.
Mission accomplished!
Micah was a pretty big fan of swim lessons from day one, and we are proud of our sweet girl.
