Swim Lessons with Myrna






Rayna has been taking swim lessons the last few weeks. Her teachers name is Myrna and she is an amazing woman who has been teaching kids to swim for 56 years! She is great! Rayna has had a blast and is learning so much. The first few days she was a bit timid and we even had some tears, but by day 4, she was a little fish! Myrna focuses a lot on survival so the kids learn to jump in the water and roll over on their backs and float. Rayna has done awesome with that! They even got to do it off the diving board! We are now in the second session for advanced beginners and it is even better. Yesterday, Rayna dove off the diving board through a hula hoop and rolled over on her back all by herself. It was exciting. She loves it and is so proud of herself. The scariest part is that she has no fear when it comes to jumping or diving into the water. She just wants to do it over and over and over again! I am glad she is enjoying it so much and learning so much. Brady has been tagging along and watching. He was very content the first week, but now he wants out and wants in the water too!
