Swim Lessons

Ryley has been taking swim lessons at the YMCA in Redlands for a couple of months. She is learning how to float, use her "ice cream scooper's" and kick at the same time. They are teaching her the basic techniques so she can learn how to do the back stroke. These are the first swim lessons that we can truly say are teaching her something. Her instructor is amazing. They start by going over the rules of the swimming pool...no running, no eating, where's the lifeguard, and who to call for help...911 (At home every time she gets a hold of the phone she dials 911 on the key pad. She tells me and shows me 911...luckily she doesn't push the green button for dial tone, we do tell her constantly that she should only call if it is an emergency, like if mommy or daddy need help :)) We would totally recommend the YMCA to anyone who is looking for a place to take their kids to learn to swim.
