Today I went to the pool with Ella at our community pool (Galei Ron) after seeing her in action at her school Bet Izzi Shapira, where she had swimming lessons throughout the school year 2 times a week. She was totally amazing in the water. Floating on her back, turning over onto her stomach. On her back she can float all by herself and get out of the float position as well. On her stomach she needs something that she can push up on to take a breath of air. But she is so into it. Diving, making bubbles while completely submerged. She stands by the wall and independently splashes, dunks, dives and then moves away from the wall which scares me because the pool is rather deep. I mean she can only stand up within a meter from the wall without the water being over her head. But then she bounces off the bottom like most kids do to take in air. Completely amazing. I never thought I would see this day! and here she is swimming almost by herself!
Ella is SWIMMING!
