Alyssa's ISR Swimming Class

Alyssa was able to pass her ISR Swim class this week with her winter clothes on. We hope that she will never have to use these skills but it gives us a little peace of mind knowing that she has them.

She loves the water and her instructor, Caroline, said that she is very comfortable in the water and relaxed. You can see this is the videos below how she just floats even when she is face down in the water. The first week she was upset and cried during the class but after about 4 days, she was laughing and playing around and enjoying them. It took her about 6 weeks (not counting the week she had the bad infection or the week of vacation) to complete the course.

I would recommend ISR (Infant Swimming Resources) to everyone. You can go to their web site http://www.infantswim.com/ to get more information. Alyssa and Daddy liked to get to class early to see the infants going through the course. There were two 8 month old twins that were ahead of us every morning. In fact, our first week there was a 6 month old that was testing out with all her winter clothes on.

In the video above she does not want to do the back flip into the water but in the next video below she will.

Congratulations Alyssa! We are very proud of you!
