When Jill was about 2 or 3 years-old she had a near drowning experience that made her deathly afraid of water. I've had her in swimming lessons every year trying to conquer that fear. This is the year she's finally done it. We started her in group lessons, but in the end put her in private lessons.

Seeing her swim like this makes me so happy. She's gone from refusing to get her head wet to this.
And she's even got a smile on her face!
This would totally make her teacher from four years ago proud... the one who experienced Jill actually climbing up onto her shoulders and hanging onto her head to stay out of the water.
She'll have a lot more fun at the pool now that she's brave enough to play on some of the equipment.
Just look at the water dripping from her face. Makes a momma proud.
Huge milestones reached this summer. This is something she never would have done... ever.
