Strokes, Kicks and Bubbles

And I'm still trying to overcome my lifelong dislike of having water up my nose,

I just realized that's probably why they have the first class "bubbles"- so they can learn how to keep the water out of their noses by blowing bubbles. Hmmm, maybe I missed that part. I guess I need to start from the beginning and have my kids teach me. If only it didn't take me a half an hour to get in the pool as I ease my way in inch by inch... GASP!

Is it considered "talking to myself" if I write comments to myself? Just wondering...

I think I need to go to bed now.

Goodnight.

Yeah, Goodnight.

Trust me...I am right there with you! I still plug my nose to this day...guess I didn't ever learn it properly.

Just now read the above comments...you are so funny! Don't worry...I talk to myself too...just not in the comment section. ;-)

dear She waded in the water and she....got water up her nose,

Ahhhh, summer swimming lessons. It is so good for them. Our kiddos have all done it. They get their swimming talents from their dad though, as i have never really liked the getting my head wet thing. I remember once on the first day of swimming lessons i went to the edge of the pool, dipped my big toe in and delcared i wasn't ready for lessons in that big pool afterall and we went to the baby pool...(again) It wasn't until i was 16 that i even went out where i could not touch. Still, i don't like to be in water where i can't see the bottom, and i am not at all crazy about boating either.

The beach, but am a land~lubber at heart

We've just finished lessons today! Caden still doesn't like going under too much, but Micayla loves blowing bubbles, jumping in, etc. Hoping Caden overcomes his fear!
