Tonight was Sam's first official swimming lesson. She has been to water babies at the y but this is real lessons. She was the youngest kid there by quite a bit and had a little bit of a hard time paying attention to the teacher. This was all fine and dandy until the little frog pad she was sitting on slipped down a couple of steps and her and another girl decided to try and reach them. Sam was quickly in over her head and she couldn't get back to where she could touch. She was kicking vertically but not going anywhere and she couldn't get her head above the water. I was standing with a couple of other parents outside the fence and started yelling "somebody needs to get her, someone get her, someone get her!". The teacher went over and grabbed her. She wasn't coughing at all and didn't really act scared so I know she was holding her breath but I also know she wouldn't have been able to get herself back to where she could touch.
My heart rate spiked but she was unfazed. I spent the rest of class reminding her to sit on her step. I hope she either learns to swim quickly or develops more of a fear of the water. Just enough of a healthy fear to keep her safe!
My workout on my supposed rest day was 23 minutes on the elliptical and 2 miles on the treadmill.
