Natalie and Emme ready to take a dip!This week Marianne and I took the girls swimming in the pool. We had so much fun and the girls slept really well each night after swimming. We taught them to blow bubbles in the pool, how to kick their feet and we even went underwater with them. My mom used to be a lifeguard and taught swimming back when I was small so she schooled us in how to do it without traumatizing them or drowning them. It was pretty successful in that neither of them are afraid to get in the pool or wanted to immediately get out after we did it. We will keep working on these skills and teaching them to go toward side of the pool when they get in. Never to early to start water safety.
