She was pretty good about listening to her teacher Yazmin even though she's never had a "teacher" that wasn't a member of the family before. Her class is small, only has 3 kids in it. The limit of the Level 1 class is 5.
Most kids are nervous about being on the backs in the water... Ella was no exception. She was not afraid about jumping in the pool, however. And even got into a bit of trouble when she jumped in while her teacher wasn't looking. Oops. All was good, and she got a talking to from both myself and Yazmin.
Week 2 - and just as excited about getting in the pool.
This time, she stayed on the edge when she was supposed to. A vast improvement in only 1 week. I'm very proud of her.

If you look closely by her feet, you can see the ring that she's been instructed to retrieve. She's still scared to put her face in the water, so she cheats sometimes and uses her foot. Very cute.
Still nervous about going under, but she did a lot better about being on her back this week. Below are some video clips from the first couple of weeks.
The whole class is 6 sessions, and we already plan to sign her up for the next session as well. I want her to be really comfortable in the water and maybe I can work with her some more next summer. Go Ella!
