This was Jillian at the beginning of the swimteam season. She was very nervous to swim on her back. As you can see, half of her body would be sticking out of the water when one of the "baby coaches" was helping her. The kids were great with her though and she has gotten a lot better. The contrast from last year's lessons to this year's is huge. These coaches are patient and know just how to encourage the kids to get them to participate. With Jillian it was just a waiting game. She would say "I"m not ready yet" so they would move on to the next person. Eventually she was the last child on the wall and she couldn't say "I'll go next time" anymore.
Here she is in her Hello Kitty suit. So adorable!
