Swimming Update

I finally remembered the camera for swimming lessons!



Here's a picture of Cati during Matteo's swimming lessons. The instructor lets the girls in for freetime. Cati loves bouncing around the pool on the noodles :) Matteo's instructor is the same one as Cati's, and she's always trying to convince her to practice some during this freetime. It doesn't happen much :)

Here's a video of Cati "swimming" during her lessons. You can see that she's now in the 'big' pool. It's taken a few weeks for her to get used to. She can touch the bottom of the pool everywhere in the smaller pool, but, of course, not in this one.

Here is Cati jumping into the deep end for the 1st time.

Here's a video of Cati jumping in any pool voluntarily, without someone pulling her in, for the 1st time!!! She's our very cautious child, so these are all big steps for her!

Here's a video of Matteo jumping in the pool. He's been doing very well lately. He was very excited about me bringing the camera to record him!

This video is of Maria. She's swimming well now and can swim the length of the pool. Her favorite thing to do during lessons comes at the end. The instructor throws several rings that sink to the bottom of the pool, and she has to swim down and retrieve them.
