These kids are getting braver by the day!  Yesterday we went to our friends swim club, and the kids felt some peer pressure and started jumping in off the side!  Then they went down the slide!

First Toby...


Then Emma (with a little coercion!)...


Toby was one and done, but Emma progressed to where I didn't need to be anywhere near her and she would go down!  It was only into 3 feet of water, so she could stand right up.

The slide at our pool is a little taller, and twists around, dropping you in 12 feet of water!  She is still saying she's not ready for that, but our hope is she will be by summer end! 

You know, the kids cost about $150 for the pool for the season.  That's less than swimming lessons would've been and they are having so much fun!  Cheap at twice the price!

I'm seriously considering that we need to join a gym with a pool after the summer.  Swimming is the perfect exercise for Emma, and anyone else and it would be a shame for her to lose her confidence and strength when the pool closes.  Food for thought.
