My swimmer

I took my new FLIP camcorder to swim lessons today. I like that it fits in my purse, and is so easy to use. I got the steal of the century on it. This is my first video, and I think it turned out alright.



This is Maggie swimming the freestyle. Not too shabby. Especially for a 5 year old. Notice how she can breathe to both sides. I did not learn that skill until high school. I am so proud of my kids and how well they swim. I feel it is such an important skill to learn.

Obviously I am biased, since I have swam my whole life. Having kids that are not afraid of the water however, comes with challenges. Luke and Maggie are strong enough swimmers that I do not have to be next to them at all times. But Rachel and Peter are a workout at the pool.

Last visit to the pool Peter spent the majority of time flirting with the lifegaurd. No joke!
