Our Guppy!

After weeks of communication to sign up, we made it to our first swim lesson at the Miami Athletic Club in Milford! It’s a small community health center, not big and swanky like the chains. Based on our schedules, we went with private 6pm on Wednesdays. Private was only $15 more and 15 minutes long! 

I had zero expectations going in - Nora would either love it or hate it. 

Nora came into the pool for me easily. I held her while Miss Emma [maybe 19?] asked Nora to blow bubbles and catch a rubber ducky she’s toss around the water. 

After maybe a minute or two, Emma asked Nora if she’d come with her - Nora went very willingly. They blew bubbles, “swam” after rubber duckies, Nora laid back on Emma while Emma pulled her around. Nora had a purple and yellow pool stick that she alternated “pushing” out to start her arms in a paddle movement. Nora also got out of the pool with help and jumped to Emma a handful of times. 

Nora was very sad to leave the pool! Last night she was upset because she wanted to go swimming! 

Tim and I are glad we’ve started this with her - something different and a new experience rather than her usual weekly schedule!
