I was a swim instructor from when I was 14-21 in a YMCA. I was then the swim lesson director for a while.. fun times :) :) I miss it so much and would do it again in a heartbeat if the YMCA around here would hire me! I love teaching kids how to swim.. although, I admit.. I did dunk a few kids who didn't want to go under. Just because their parents told me to- they said they weren't going to waste their money on swim lessons if the kid wasn't going underwater. LOL. I am glad Natalie enjoyed her swim lessons!Kristinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14332357896924226927noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5910185897876102936.post-31048569693056310952011-04-15T06:24:41.122-06:002011-04-15T06:24:41.122-06:00Too funny!

He spent the first 30 minutes of his lesson screaming and crying as I frantically bounced him around the water, and then fell asleep on me for the last 15 minutes EVERY SINGLE LESSON. We kind of gave up after that...Wendyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13635548083674337079noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5910185897876102936.post-83803323992476830062011-04-15T05:10:33.781-06:002011-04-15T05:10:33.781-06:00Happy to hear that the swimming lessons went well!...Happy to hear that the swimming lessons went well! :DSamantha Sottohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14116257082088369600noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5910185897876102936.post-66545129531669825602011-04-14T21:55:31.257-06:002011-04-14T21:55:31.257-06:00Yay for Natalie!

I have had many, "oh please don't scream" moments! I was also reading your Michael Phelps post and whenever my 12 year old says I'm the meanest mom in the world I just say thanks and take it as a huge compliment. But, after three kids, all with some issue, and my daughter with very life altering issues I'm so brain dead, that it really does feel like one! Great blog!

I watched my son when he was about 5 or 6 go down a slide at a community pool and he was floundering and I was about to throw my heels to the wind (I came on lunch break he was with a community camp) and dive in when the life guard grabbed him. I thought I was going to have a panic attack but all was well and like I said they are fish now!momto2tweenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07472743486074896693noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5910185897876102936.post-26264337439614506152011-04-14T10:19:36.763-06:002011-04-14T10:19:36.763-06:00She sounds so like my daughter---fearless of/in th...She sounds so like my daughter---fearless of/in the water!
