The Fwimmin Pool

Amelia started her first swimming class tonight at 5:30 at our gym. She was SO excited to go. I think Mondays and Wednesdays for are going to be fun for the next month because I can use the pool as an incentive for good behavior. There were 3 kids (and moms) in the class tonight. It was the first time they've offered a "toddler" class that didn't also have infants involved. "Real" lessons and classes are for 3 year olds.

The swim instructor, Jenny, has just returned to Chapel Hill and the Wellness Center after moving back to Gainesville, FL for a couple years. She was a swimmer at UF(I went there too) and her husband played football at UF, coached at UNC, and now does something with the Denver Broncos, I think. My friend Brandy took her adult swimming class a couple years ago. She encouraged me to do the same, but it was not for the faint of heart. Hopefully the toddler class won't be so rigorous. The funny thing about Jenny is that she's a reality TV star. Do you remember The Bachelor with Jesse, the football player? Well, Jenny was the spy... http://www.ew.com/ew/article/0,,630299,00.html I remember seeing the episode, then going to swim laps and doing a double take. She's really nice and Amelia actually listens to what she's saying in the pool. Splish, Splash!
