Let the Swim Lessons Begin

Our trip to Great Wolf Lodge was our test to see if we could push Lily & Emma towards the world of swimming. They both loved the water, getting splashed, and jumping from the side. Both Sara and I grew up always having a pool nearby, so we are firm believers for knowing how to swim. We actually contemplated placing the girls in the infant swim classes; however, since we don't have a pool, figured they would lose any skills gained. We were waiting for Lily's evening dance class to finish up and that day has come.  For the next 2 months, the Check Family will be spending every Friday night at the Great Neck Rec Center pool. The class is just an introductory geared towards "Mommy & Me" type stuff, but that's all our girls need to start. Once this finishes up, Miss Lily will be signed up to "go it alone". Lets hope all those Little Mermaid viewings have rubbed off.
