fear and swimming

We have had swimming lessons every day for the last two weeks, and both children have made wonderful progress. Liesl actually swam today - kicking and floating and moving forward - for the first time. It was fantastic.  Sebastian is still struggling to overcome his fear of the water, particularly submerging his face and head under the water. He hates to get water in his nose and often panics and inhales water into his mouth. It's hard. But at least this time he gave it his best shot, really trying to get his face in and go under the water.
