Since last week's swim class was cancelled due to lightning, this morning was Lolli's first time to swim! Zach, Lauren and Lolli arrived at Indy Island and Zach waited in the lobby while Lauren took Lolli to get her swimsuit on. She looked oh-so-cute in her yellow bikini, but Lauren and Zach both agreed it was too revealing for public, so she had to put a one-piece on over her yellow bottoms (swim diaper). She looked so cute!
When it was time for class to start, Zach held Lolli's hands while she walked down a ramp and into the water. She didn't hesistate at all and didn't even mind that the water was chilly (according to Zach). After the water got about knee-high on her, Lolli sat down in it and started to splash. It took Zach a minute of coaxing to get her up and walking again, but she got the hang of it.
Eventually the water got too deep for Lolli to walk, so Zach helped her "swim" on her tummy. She loved it! She wasn't too sure about swimming on her back, though, although she didn't cry at all! The class lasted 30 minutes and Lolli loved having Zach splash with her, lift her up and down in the water, and help her swim. By the end of class, Lolli's lips were purple from the chilly water! With Zach's help, she walked herself up the ramp and right into the towel Lauren was holding out for her. One lesson down, 6 to go!
