Swim Lesson Success!

There's just a couple days left of this session of swim lessons at Briarcliff, and both girls have made some improvements. Bridget is totally unafraid of getting in the pool, and now just swims around on her own (with help from her floaties). She's now part of the regular "floatie class", lining up and diving in and swimming and repeating the process. She gets some assistance from the instructors, usually when they try to steer her in the right direction (Bridget often drifts all over the pool when she's swimming), but the rest of the time she's on her own. Jillian decided to just jump into the pool during some of the activities, which meant her head went underwater. She was kinda OK with it, but she was definitely excited about telling us about it and knowing that she'd get hot chocolate from Starbucks on the way home (her incentive for putting her head underwater).
