The little boy was ECSTATIC! Jack is lucky to have his own personal swim coach, Aunt Leah, who said he was crazy and that she's never seen a 1 year old so happy in the water. And fearless. Which is going to make this summer at the pool a very active one for this momma. Hopefully it is a good outlet for all of his energy.
I was laughing that he will swim before he walks! Much more motivated to kick through the water than walk on the floor.
Jack goes under no problem, tries to swim back and forth to people, and now grabs unto the edge and climbs up. Watching him swing his leg up is hilarious. It's pretty scary to not hold him and let him do it on his own, but Leah was right, he let go once went under and scared himself. So now he holds on really tight.
Things we need to work on:
- Blowing bubbles
- Floating on his back
- Kicking his feet faster (turtles pace is not going to get him somewhere)
- Bobbing off the bottom of the pool
... I know he is not going to do these things in the next 2 weeks it is just my check list from Leah to work on so I don't forget!
