This year Noah started swimming back in February when we went on a cruise aka "the big boat for my birthday". When we got back Noah started his "swim school"/swim lessons. Before we knew it Noah was floating on his back (this is hard for little ones) swimming, blowing bubbles, kicking, grabbing dive toys from the bottom of the pool, jumping in, etc etc etc. He would walk around saying "swimming is easy...floating is easy". Our pool opened Memorial Day weekend and those who know me well know that we plan to go to the pool everyday unless it is raining. So they we were at our pool and there Noah was looking at us like he had never seen a pool before. What?!. After talking with his "swim school teachers" and much persistance on my part, Noah is realizing that the skills he has learned at swim school will work in any pool even with Mommy! I am so proud of him he loves to "dive" for his toys and although is still hesitant he is attempting floating and swimming at our pool, his buddies pool as well as at swim school. Today he and Eli tour up the baby pool and were laughing and talking about whatever it is 2 year old laugh and talk to each other about. We were not without needing to correct for not wanting to share or breaking some other pool rules. At our pool rule #8 is no running, so whatever pool we are at no running is rule #8. Someone tell me why that rule is so hard for a 2 year old to follow.
