We've had this little floaty ring for weeks now and haven't used it. We've had a lot of rain off and on, so we just haven't made it out to the pool and it got pretty dirty. PJ got the pool all cleaned up this weekend and we remembered the ring. Abbie could actually swim. Up til now she's just walked around in the pool. We've tried the arm floats, but they aren't that great really. Yesterday, she got her legs kicking and was really going for it. Look out Michael Phelps Abbie is gonna break your records some day!
Water Ballet and the doggie paddle...woof, woof
It's so amazing to me that kids can take to the water so naturally. She just instinctively knows to paddle her feet to swim. I may be a little biased but, I really do think that she could be an awesome swimmer. PJ and I have decided that we need to look into swim lessons for her. At this age it's more for safety than for actual swimming but, all the exposure she can get the better. I want her to be safe in the water since I know that she'll be around water a lot in the next few years. She's certainly not scarred of the water.
Just keep playing, just keep playing...
