Underwater adventure

As you can see, Grace and I have been spending a lot of time in the pool. We have been working on swimming and holding our breath. She has gotten quite good at holding her breath and going under. She looks so cute with her goggles on, so today I decided to get some underwater pictures of her. Enjoy!

Grace Swimming

Grace started swimming today. I have been working with her for about 2 days and today she did it. She jumped into the pool (without her bubble) and swam until she was able to touch. It was probably about 5 feet deep. I was so proud of her. She has really taken to the water this summer. She also learned how to do a "can opener" off the diving board. Her other favorite thing to do in the pool now is go under and look at each other. She is so cute. I can't wait until tomorrow for another hot, humid, summer day so we can do it all over again. I love this easy semester at school, it has given me lots of time to spend with Grace. Enjoy her swimming video and a few pictures of her "can opener" jump.

JUMP!!!

Yesterday Grace and I spent the entire day in the pool. We worked on bobbing and holding our breath. Her biggest accomplishment was jumping off the side without her bubble. Then she jumped of the diving board with her bubble without being caught. Just last weekend she still needed someone to catch her. Amazing what can change in a week. Here are a few photos and two videos.
