We have been swimming like crazy lately in this heat. I will admit that I fought James tooth and nail over putting in a pool (and it still scares me a lot). On the other hand, it is nice to have it at home. There are a lot of things to pack and get ready to go to the pool - it is very nice to have all of that in the backyard. It has really saved me this summer.
Sam completely scared me the first day he got in the water. I wanted him to love it (and he does), but he has no fear. I have since taught him how to climb into the pool using the stairs instead of just falling into the pool anywhere. He still wants to jump in though and will jump off the diving board. He is wearing a little puddle jumper which has been great for him.
Ava just picked right up where she left off from last year. She is still wearing Floaties (which is fine with me) and is really comfortable swimming all around the pool. Right now we are working on putting her head under and floating on her back. Swim lesson will probably wait until next year!
