Here Fishy Fishy

I swam my first swim meet when I was 5 years old. My mom and swim coach of two days walked beside me in the outside lane (AKA THE SLOWEST LANE). They told me NOT to touch the side. And I made it, scoring points for the team! Growing up, my parents had a summer cottage on water. I always felt confident swimming around the current. I always knew that knowing the water and how to swim was such a blessing. Fast forward 30 years and my own daughters just finished another round of summer swim lessons. Why do I put them in swim lessons? I NEVER want them to fear water! Knowing how to swim is just SAFETY to me! My girls did such a wonderful job! Sweet Emily had to jump in with clothing on, then tread water while getting it all off!

And here is her lovely backstroke! (She is closest to the camera.) The swim teachers had little Laney try to swim the length of the pool! Yeah Laney!




I'm so proud of my little fish!
P.S. Don't worry about the crazy people cheering...just my mom and me! Hee, hee!
