Swimming Lessons

Today, I had my first swimming lesson. Well, it's not really swimming yet - they don't teach babies to swim till they're 3 years old, but it's called Guardian Swim, and mommy and I go in the water. The purpose is so I will get used to the water. There were a few babies my age in the class and many toddlers. Once we got in the water, the instructor sings songs and the mommies and daddies carry the babies around in a circle, putting them in and out of the water, splashing etc. It was very very noisy...and I was scared! Plus the water was cold. So I was crying. I didn't think I would like swimming lessons at all. Then Daddy arrived to watch me (he had just gotten home from work). Mommy took me away from all the other kids and just carried me around in the water, back & forth, so I could get used to it. By the end of the 1/2 hour class, I was really enjoying myself -kicking my legs and waving my arms in the water while Mommy supported me. Here are a couple of pictures and a link to a video:
