The kids love going to the pool to swim. They have been using little plastic "floaties" on each arm and can jump in from the side and swim the length of the pool.
Stephen is able to hold his breath under the water and has no problem dipping his head underwater. In fact, he jumped in to the pool a couple of times without his floaties and had to be retrieved from under the water by nearby Papa, and each time he popped out of the water with a big smile on his face.
Sarah is not as good at holding her breath. She does not like to put her face under the water at all and is a bit more afraid of the water.
But we all have fun splashing around. And Mama is slowly improving her swimming skills as well.
Papa: Stephen, do you want to go to school today?
Stephen (grinning ear-to-ear): No! Pool!
Papa: You want to go swimming in the pool?
Stephen (still grinning): Yeaaahh!
