My Little Swimmers

Jonah has been great at going underwater and "swimming" where he can stand for a few months.  Last week, he showed us that he can really swim.  He has swam half the length of the pool several times now.  Teaching kids how to swim and be safe in the water is a long journey it itself.  We are so proud that he has reached this milestone.



Elisabeth has made some great strides this summer too.  She will dunk herself under the water and pull herself up.  In June, when we started going to the pool, if water got in in the area of her mouth and nose, she would breath it in or choke.  She has come a long way too.
