Swimming

Here are a few pictures from a recent pool outing.

I have been having JB swim just a foot or so to the side of the pool.  He is starting to get how kicking your feet can keep your face about the water.

Jbird loves to jump from the side and try to catch something.  I liked both of these...not sure where the water frisbee is in the first picture, but you can see it in the second picture.

B has been spending a lot of time going off the diving boards.  He actually tried a flip and over rotated and did a belly flop.  The dive is more difficult.  He strikes the pose and then at the last second instead of falling hands first, he jumps off.  I guess it is totally unnatural to fall head first.

I actually went off the diving board a few times.  It obviously has been a while since I went off a board, cause when I hit the water I took on lots of water.  My sister reminded me after the fact that I use to hold my nose when I went off the board - a fact that you should not forget!  I came up sputtering.  I also went down the speed slide.  I came up from under the water to my kids booing me!  Seems like it take some finesse to hold your feet up just high enough when you hit the water to hydroplane and then splash everyone on the other side of the pool.

Our trip is quickly winding down.  Will be hitting the road on Wednesday!
