Swimming Lessons

Unfortunately at swimming lessons today Carly was not the model student.  Her lesson started off well; however, she a little too confident in her swimming abilities and not too interested in listening to her instructor.  While she was supposed to be sitting on the edge of the pool so another girl could have a turn swimming with the instructor Carly got up and walked to a different spot on the edge.  (She had done this earlier to work with the class's assistant, so I thought nothing of it.)  However, while both teachers were away from the edge of the pool with students Carly began to lower herself into the side of the pool by holding on to the edge.  As I glanced in her direction to give her the "mommy stare" she pushed herself off of the edge and swam about a yard and a half out into the water.  By this point I was at the edge of the pool and the instructor was within a foot of Carly's body.  She began to tread water for about a minute until she attempted to swim back to the edge.  At this point she began to sink down and was scooped up by the teacher.  There was a discussion with the teacher about how unsafe her choices had been before she was told her lesson for the day was over, a similar discussion on our ride home, and then again at bedtime with Dave.  I'm really hoping Monday will go smoother and that we haven't just frightened Carly away from the pool.
