EDIT: Just realized this should prob be in the kids and family section. Mods please move if you see fit. Thanks!

My step daughter Lilly is 6 y.o. Due to her Downsyndrome she has some sensory issues and has had a fear of water for as long as I can remember. A friend of ours took her to a pool party, and told us that Lilly couldnt get enough of the pool. However she had to be holding on to someone at all times.

Recently we went on a trip to Fl. and on the last day my Wife decided to try teaching her how to swim. Figured I'd snap a few shots of her progress.
