When we are in a pool, you don't use froggie but the floaty that we got from the YMCA. It keeps you up enough that you have to swim but also helps you so that you don't go underwater. Sometimes you are laughing, talking and having so much fun that you get water in your mouth. We have to tell you to keep your mouth closed. :)
You swim all by yourself. We sometimes stay next to you but you also swim all on your own. You like to use the noodle and often chase after the rings. Sometimes I hold the ring out and you jump off the stairs to catch it. Each time we are at Nonni and Poppi's pool, I make sure you go under water at least once. This helps you get used to it. I hold onto you and we count to three. You love it when daddy swims under you and when he blows water out of the noodle. Sometimes we swim for almost an hour. When it is time to get out, you never want to.
This has increased your comfort level in the water in general. Now when we go to a park to swim in a lake or when we go to a water park you dive right in. Always being careful not to get your face wet but you want to swim. You kick your feet and "swim."
I can't wait to put you in swim lessons again. We will start in September. It is only one month away.
