One Step Forward, Two Steps Back!

Today was day 2 for my swimming lessons.

I will not be long because I'm just not that happy with today's class.

I feel like I took 2 steps back when I felt so comfortable yesterday. I am having issues knowing how to come up from floating. I panic and try to stand up and end up going face first back in the water and then I freak out.

I tried a suggestion that Frank gave me, to fold my knees and bring them into my chest and use my hands to push down to help me come up, but just couldn't get it down. :(

On a good note, Patty was able to push off of the wall and actually swim across part of the pool, being cautious to not go too far out.

Maybe tomorrow will be better.
