That would be how Mckenna would describe Ayden Jane's attempt at swimming lessons. If you've followed along this summer you know Mckenna swims on the swim team. Ayden Jane and I watch most days for the hour she is swimming and we were going to have Coach Fabio take a look at what Ayden Jane's got so we could see about helping her be a bit safer in the water. (okay, so help ME) Yesterday, he had a break at practice and invited AJ to come in with him. She was hesitant but went with him. Ayden Jane completely shut down and even freaked out a bit. If you had never seen her in the water before you would think that it was her first time!
I asked her afterwards what her trouble was. She said the pool is a little bit loud and scary. I guess it being an indoor pool with lots of kids swimming.... She has a point. Anyway, she proceeded today to swim really well in our pool and seems no worse for the wear. Although, I think Coach Fabio is convinced she was scared by him.
Plan B is to go swimming with Jen and her crazy crew. Jen, as well as being a competitive gymnast, taught a bit of swimming in her day. I think between the 2 of us we can get Ayden Jane to take that breath and then there will be no stopping her.
