Eva's Swimming Lessons

For the past 2 weeks, Eva and Sophia have taken swimming lessons. This is Eva's 3rd summer. Because she is under 4 years old, she was in a parent-assisted class called Shrimps. Next year, Eva is able to start with Level 1 - all by herself! : )
Here are some pictures from class... our lessons were held in the "vortex" (during open swim, jets shoot the water around the circle and it makes quite a current!).
The City of Apache Junction has a great pool facility. This was our area of the pool.
Aahhh... how relaxing. Eve is practicing back floats. : )
My Mom watched the girls while the other was in class... here is Eva "watching" Sophia's class.
Half of the AJ pool has a beach entry with a lot of fun water sprayers, etc. One of the days, we were in the beach entry so the kids could practice in the shallow water (she us grabbing for sticks under the water) and see what it is like to walk in the water. That was our instructor with the hat (for both girls), Jaime. Yes, the water was FREEZING!! She was in it for 4 hours in the morning, so she got pretty cold! You wouldn't think that Arizona would have cold water, but that amount of water doesn't warm up too fast. Plus, we had a few cloudy days and the beginning of June wasn't that hot either!
Eva LOVES to jump in the water. She wanted to do it all the time, and still does.
Did I mention she LOVES jumping in? ; )
Practicing kicking.
