Swimming like a fish

Well we recently finished our most recent round of swimming lessons and Ella had a great time and also made a lot of progress in the water. She is a lot more confident and seems to really enjoy being in the water. With a float block on her back she can kick and paddle by herself back and forth around the pool. She is always exclaiming "I'm an awesome swimmer!". I think according to her skill she is ready for independent classes, but since she is still pretty shy I'm not so sure she will get into the pool without me. We'll keep practicing our skills at home though. :)
