I decided to put Ella in swimming lessons since she would not get over her fear of deep water. She got to the point where she had this kung-fu death grip on you if her feet could not touch the ground. So, I found lessons that were every day for two weeks so she could stay focused on learning swimming. She did not like the fact that she had a boy teacher, so they brought a girl instructor basically just for her. So, she kinda got private lessons out of it. She did get over the fear of jumping into the pool without holding on to your arm... and we're making progress each day at the pool now! She will kick and move her arms in the water to try to swim, instead of being a dead fish in the water.
My goal is to work on her throughout the whole year at the indoor pool at the Y so by next summer she'll be swimming by herself! Hopefully that's not too big of a goal.

It's definitely not too big of a goal. I was a pretty good swimmer and could swim all by myself by the time I was 5. She can do it. It would be nice to not have to worry so much. Looks like you had fun. So awesome!!!!
