Swimming Everyday


My family (minus me) has been swimming everyday. It's funny because I never pegged Preston as much of a swimmer, but his problem, I have discovered, is we've never had a pool in our backyard. So, he is just too lazy to pack up and go to the beach or go to some pool. But, when it is sitting in the backyard and you can just pull your pants down and and jump right in, he'll go 3 times a day. It is great because the kids usually go with him and having them in the pool that often is really building their confidence. Clayton can tough in the shallow end so he often goes in now without a life jacket and attempts to swim. he can paddle and keep is feet of the ground now for 5-10 seconds so it really is good for him. Kayla still can't reach but she enjoys paddling around in her life jacket. Both are much more comfortable putting their heads underwater too. They are in lessons right now but I figure by the end of the summer I can relax a little more while they are in the pool because they will be little swimmers!
