This summer has been full of new adventures, but I think one of our highlights has to be Lizzy and Peter conquering the pool. These two had taken swimming lessons for years at our old public pool, and they learned a little bit, but never really took off with swimming. This summer, they've joined a swim team, and it's absolutely amazing to see how far they've come. When we first arrived here, neither of them could swim across our pool. They didn't really want to jump in, neither felt comfortable putting their heads under for a long time, and they steered clear of the deep end. Now, you should see them! Peter loves to jump into the pool. He can swim across, dive for rings, do cannon balls from anywhere, and is all over the deep end. Lizzy can "stream line," is working on learning all the different strokes, loves to do handstands and dive for rings, and jumps in all over the pool. It's been a lot of work, and they're not always super excited to go to their practices, but their hard work has certainly paid off. It's so fun to swim with them and see how much they enjoy the water. I'm excited to have lots more fun together in our pool.
