Day at the Pool

On Monday, we spent some time at the pool practicing our swimming skills... I stayed on dry land and handled the videoing while Chad and Nathan got in the pool to swim! Here are some pics and video that you might enjoy!

Ready to go swimming! Off topic... but notice how tightly his shoulders fit in the stroller. Usually he sits at an angle to fit in there, it's kinda sad for him and for us. We'll be buying a new stroller soon just to accommodate his broad shoulders!



Click play to watch our little fish! You'll have to hold your head sideways for a few of them... I was using a different camera and I don't know how to rotate it on the computer!

splashing and learning to swim/float to the steps

Nathan is working on learning how to go under and make a 180 degree turn, first to us and then to the side or step. We've just started this skill.

Nathan's learning to float/swim from the steps or the edge of the pool to us. Too much fun to watch his face light up as he leaves the step. You can't really see it in this video, but in real life it's so sweet!


Nathan and daddy talking to a little girl about how she could go underwater too... all she had to do was learn to hold her breath and put her face in.

Really, it's that simple...the little girl even gave it a try because, she told us, "if a baby can do it, i can, cause I'm 4."

Silly faces
