Anna took 2 weeks of swim lessons at Hendrix last month. She had fun and learned a lot! She still isn’t quite to swimming on her own yet (more than a few feet, anyway), but she is SO much more comfortable in the water than when she started and is well on her way. The first day, she didn’t even want to put her face in the water, but by the end, she would hang onto the side and dunk herself 10 times in a row.

I like the way Hendrix does lessons. Instead of diving up by “class” where each kid is supposed to be at the same level and learning the same thing, they just take the kids that signed up for that time slot and group them by age 4 to a teacher, then the teacher works with the kids at whatever level they are and whatever pace they need, leading them through the same progression of skills as far as they can get.

Here are some pics:

Anna was great at floating on her back!

The grand finale—jumping!
