Swimming - by Ella

At the beginning of the summer I was very afraid of the water. I liked to play on the steps and in the baby pool. However, being at the pool 3 or 4 times a week really helped me get brave! I taught myself how to jump off the side, swim (with and without holding my nose), and I even swam across the deep end one day! My mom told me I would have to take swim lessons unless I knew how to swim...so I taught myself...I did NOT want to take swim lessons! This video is at the beginning of the summer, mom and dad told me they were going to show it to my Mimi and Pawpaw so I needed to do my best. I can swim a lot better now!
