First time on the diving board!!

I am so proud of the girls. They did swim lessons in the month of May and learned absolutely nothing. Seriously, they would barely put their heads under water. It was very frustrating because I knew that they were both swimming around 10 feet at the end of the year last year. But all it took was one day in the pool with mom and now they are doing great! They still will not come up for air. Eventually they will figure out that it's easier than holding your breath so long. But they are rocking it out in the pool. Yesterday they wanted to go on the diving board so badly. So I waited until the pool cleared out a bit. I didn't want to be the crazy lady jumping in after her kids drowning in the pool. But they both jumped off the diving board with no fear and swam like rockstars to the ladder. Then they did it over and over and over again. I was so proud! Raegan was going off the diving board just before she turned 3. She was coming up for air though. But it looks like my sink or swim method of teaching them how to swim has truly paid off. I will be able to relax a bit more on the side this summer. And we all know it's all about me :)
