Infant Swimming Resource (ISR): Day 1...

Yesterday was Anniston's first day of swim lessons!...

We enrolled her in Infant Swimming Resource (ISR)... For folks who have never heard of ISR, it is an AMAZING program for infants starting as young as 6 months! It's not your typical swim lessons... For Anniston's age group, they really don't teach them "how to swim"... she will really just learn survival skills if she were to accidentally fall into the water.
The program is pretty INTENSE to say the least!! I've been joking to friends that it's like she's training for the Olympics or something!... We go 5 days a week for at least the next 4 weeks!... But at the end of the program she will be able to rollover and float on her back fully clothed in case she ever falls into the water {heaven forbid!}...

I have been so excited to get her started & had been buying tons of cute little bathing suits for months getting ready for the BIG day!... (Well turns out, they just wear a swim diaper!... Oh well, she'll be ready & fully stocked when our family lake house is done this summer! LOL :)

Our first few days, the instructor said she will basically just be getting used to the water & the feeling of getting water in her ears...

She was doing pretty well at first, then after a couple minutes she had a slight meltdown in the water!... but the instructor warned me that would probably happen!... :(

Overall, I think she did GREAT! :)

I'll try to keep you all updated throughout our training of her progress!... If anyone is interested in finding more out about this program go to http://www.infantswim.com/

Here's a really neat video that shows what she will learn to do by the end of the program...
