Swimming Lessons - for Virginia and her Mother

Meet Virginia Bruce, a little girl who still fights her parents almost every time they tell her it is bath night. A little girl that runs away from a sprinkler. A little girl who is NOT in love with water.


Virginia's mom, at the suggestion of Virginia's grandmother Kiki, decided Virginia needed to take some swim lessons now that she is 3. So Mama Bruce signed her up to go learn to swim.

With a bunch of little boys. Boys who splashed a lot. Boys her mother considered yelling at or otherwise reprimanding because their parents just let them splash her daughter.


See Virginia exceed all expectations and do every single activity with the teacher. With no screaming. With no crying. With no whining. Including jumping from the side of the pool into the water to a woman she'd only known 20 minutes!


Virginia learns to swim. Her mother learns to have more faith in her child. Amazing what swimming lessons can teach you.
