More Fish

Magoo has been swimming since she was 6 months old at the Murray Callan Swim School. She really is an amazing little swimmer. Her teachers over the years have referred to her as Fish. She loves the water and swims 3 times a week for the past 3+ years. She dives in, takes breathes and can swim the width of the pool unassisted. She is now working on (what they refer to as zippers). Her teacher is truly impressed at how quickly she learned the technique and how beautifully she executes the stroke.

Little Man started the same program about 2 months ago. He too appears to love the water and has never felt uncomfortable being in the pool. He goes under the water, glides from his teacher to me with head in the water, and goes off the side of the pool from the sitting position. It is incredible to watch this little 10 month old learn to swim.

It was very important to me that my children feel comfortable in the water and be strong swimmers. I am not. With us living so close to the ocean, I know I will not always be with them when they go to the beach. I want them to be water safe (as safe as one can be). I would never force them to swim if they did not enjoy it, so I am so happy that they both appear to be water babies.
