Today was Elliana's first ISR swim lesson. She will be learning self rescue water skills over the next few weeks. It was an emotional and difficult day but I am so proud of how well Ellie did! They began today by working on holding onto the wall (or the pvc bar at the wall- lower for practice due to Ellie's size) She needs to gain confidence in the wall and learn to reach and go for it (not a person) when needing help or a way out.
Here is just a quick snipet of her lesson.
Looking forward to watching her grow and learn over the next few weeks!

ReplyDeleteWow!! I love the new pictures. All three of them resemble each other so very much. I am amazed at your courage and strength taking Ellie to the swim lesson. You and Jake have strength beyond measure. Pass on my love to the rest of the gang. Jess
