Swim Fishy Swim

Maelee loves the water.....well not the bath tub too much right now but a pool is her new best friend! :) She is a little fishy and we find it hard to even get her out of the pool to dry off. Swimming is beneficial to Maelee in so many ways we are beyond grateful she loves the pool!

Maelee's first time swimming in her little pool May 2012! 

Swimming is a wonderful form of therapy for Maelee. We believe it is the one place where she has better control over her body and her muscle tone is decreased. She is able to kick and move her arms freely without the resistance of gravity. Maelee is able to build muscle strength, work on coordination, and overall gain some confidence. 

 Maelee's first time swimming in a BIG pool!!! She loved it from the first moment we put her in!

She has loved the pool from the first time we put her in. She loves to go under, doesn't care if the water gets in her eyes or mouth. This year we bought a smaller pool for our backyard so Maelee could have the ability to stand as well as swim anytime she wants to or we think her body needs it. It's amazing to see how different she moves in the water, how much more coordination she has, and to hold her is so relaxing while being in the pool. We are blessed that Lee's sister has a pool at their home so anytime we need to swim more or just want to get the big pool experience that is available to us and to Maelee. Having that will be of great assistance as Maelee gets older and bigger.

Blessed to have this fishy in our life! Swim Fishy Swim! :)
