Swim lesson update again

Larissa is really doing well now.  Her teacher says she is really improving with every lesson.  She no longer clings to the teacher or to the side of the pool.  She is jumping into the water (to the instructor) she is trying to do her glides and kicks.  She can almost float on her back.  She tries really hard now.  I think our Friday night swims are really helping.  Her confidence is growing with every class. 

Skylar is also making great strides.  She CAN swim on her front, float on her front and back and glide on her back, but she doesn't have the confidence to do most of it on her own yet.  When she's floating, as soon as she feels your hands leave her body, she freaks out and sinks.  If she'd just believe in herself she could easily do it.  When I am helping her, I am barely touching her.  She is doing it all on her own, but my hands are on her, so she thinks I am helping her.  She will get it soon enough. 

One of Rissy's favorite parts of her lesson is when they  make a train and go by Skylar's class.  Here is their train today.  Rissy is the third child in.
