An easy summer in the pool...

After years of wondering if A was ever going to be willing to get in the pool without a life jacket, let alone swim on his own- we now have a swimmer. He still has more to learn but he can jump off the board and get to the wall and swim from the deep end to the shallow end alone. Yeah A!!


Of course, D is fearless and has discovered if she kicks her legs a hundred times a minute she can swim on her own too (with a life jacket) However, if B is holding K, then all of a sudden D "forgets" how to swim and screams to be "rescued"


And not to be forgotten, X is finally able to swim on his own with a life jacket. It wasn't until this year that he had the muscle control in his torso to keep his face out of the water. He is also big enough to touch the bottom so hopefully next summer we can work on swimming without the "floaty" vest


it was nice that they could all swim (to some degree) and didn't need held the entire time they were swimming. Of course, unless K is a Michael Phelps wanna-be, we will be back to having one to hold next year
