Today Luke and I went with new friends to Belmont Hills Pool where there's a water slide. Luke is finally big enough this year to do the slide -- and a strong enough swimmer to make his way to the ladder. He tackled the slide without any hesitation, and said it was "so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so -- and then I interrupted him -- fun!"
This past weekend I took the waterproof camera to the pool and captured Luke doing a somersault in the water and Bryn hanging out upside down under the water:
Luke has also been taking private swim lessons with one of the swimming coaches, Coach Amy, on Monday mornings before the pool opens. We've been working on freestyle. Once he is able to coordinate his arms and kicking, the next step will be to work on the rotary breathing.
