Allison restarts swimming lessons

In 2007, Allison left her mark at the swimming pool. She quickly established a reputation for screaming, yelling, and crying. As parents, we backed off and let her take the rest of the season off. We transitioned from the pool to the soccer field.

In 2008, we enrolled Allison at the pool where she began as a infant. In the first few days, we knew we stumbled onto the magic as she started to get more interested in the lessons. She was happy to fetch the ring from the bottom step, put her face under water for 10 seconds, and noodle paddle. We are so proud of her. She has regained her confidence and found fun in the water.



Allison's cheering section.
