More swimming

Madeline has been taking swimming classes again, since October, but has not liked the class as much as the classes in CA. She has not been challenged- it was more like playing around in the water and so she forgot how much she liked to actually swim, kick, blow bubbles and sit-dive.
So we started a new class last night through Montgomery County. The pool is Olympic-sized, in fact they do the local Olympic trials there, I think. The place is busy and bustling and there are big slides and stuff inside. The best part is it is much warmer than our other class in rockville.
The teacher still leaves something to be desired but Madeline and I have been going for rec swims and I am able to remind her of her swim skills.
I dont mind telling you that she is obviously the captain of her class; swimming underwater, pouring water over her own head, blowing bubbles, floating on her back (on my shoulder) and generally loving class. We just need to move her up to the 3's though, for next time so she is actually learning something new.
Here she is in her East Coast wetsuit. It keeps her so much more comfy when she is getting out of the water after class, especially.

And here she is with her too-pregnant for the swimsuit to not look obscene, mommy.
