Swimming Showdown






I saw one of these videos on another blog and I was reminded how I need to get my kids in swimming lessons.  About a month ago we were swimming at a community pool and there was an 8 month old doing lessons and floating around the pool like in these videos.  I about died.  We watched him float all over and jump fall into the pool while we hung out on the steps because my kids and I are cool like that.  Caleb (3 yrs.) likes 'playing' in the water.  He likes his feet and legs touching the ground and his face dry...so you can imagine how wild things get when he is in the pool.  Olivia, on the other hand, loves the water, but how could you not when you just lounge in a floaty?  I hadn't even considered swimming lessons for her until I saw that baby at the pool bust his aquatic skills that blew my mother mind out of the water (as well as the $100 price tag for 1 private lesson).  Seriously I gasp out loud when I watch these clips.  On the second video you can hear the mom behind the camera talking about how her baby's hair looks funny floating in the water...What about the flip your baby just did while being thrown by a body builder of a man?! That is one chill Momma!
