Yep, that's right . . . Jenna is officially a graduate of the AVAC Sea Horses! This is her ribbon that proudly hangs in her room. In case you can't read it, it says, "AVAC Swim School O-Fish-al Sea Horse!" After our awful day last Tuesday, she completely did a 180. She did everything her teacher asked of her and did it happily. She was determined to swim and we are proud to announce (after almost two years of lessons, 16 weeks sitting on the steps, three sessions in the Sea Horses, and money I could most certainly use elsewhere) Jenna can now swim! Yea!
Last Friday, she surprised us with two thing . . . swimming completely on her own and earning the above ribbon that moves her into the next swimming group. So Jenna is now officially a Jellyfish!
We are so very, very proud of her. I know most kids get in the water and swim easily. But this wasn't the case for Jenna. This was a huge struggle and fear for her for about two years. We kept her engaged in swimming and here we are . . . over the fear and a proud swimmer! It's a good place to finally be:)
