Katie has always LOVED swimming. When she was just 18 months old, she would jump off the side, go under, pop back up with a huge smile on her face and then swim to the side of the pool. (with a swim bubble on). Three years later, she is still enjoying the water and swimming unaided.
Swim lessons in the Netherlands, like everything else, are different. So, I decided when we were back she would take lessons. She took lessons Monday through Friday at 8am the first two weeks we were in New Hampshire. Yep, 8am, but I figured that we might as well since we were all up between 4-6am due to jet lag! She was the youngest and smallest in her class but the best student, most determined and the one with the least amount of fear!
Katie in the lead!
Here she is jumping off the diving board. The other children - all boys, all older, all taller - either did not jump at all or had to have the instructor walk out with them and talk them through it.
That's my girl!
