A Summer of Swimming...

We did A TON of swimming this summer and both of my girls have proven to be little fishes! We honestly went 3-4 times a week and all ended up with pretty nice tans! Brynlee loves to wear her goggles and has become a great little swimmer. She discovered she can swim without floaties and took off! She even swam the whole length of the lap pool a couple of times! It is so nice not having to worry about her...knowing that if she fell in she could definitely get herself to the side. (Don't worry...I still watch her close!)
Halle also LOVES to swim and is a little champ with her floaties on. She was totally low maintenance for me and was always happy in the water! It was so funny to see her bicycle pedal through the water to get to where she wanted to go. (Do you see the little something special I caught in this photo....can you say "snot bubble"! HA!!) I always packed us a little lunch that the girls enjoyed snacking on poolside. Needless to say...we had a lot of PB and honey sandwiches this summer! Yum! I'm really mad at myself that I didn't get any cute pics of Halle in the water. She was so cute to watch and usually floated with her little feel out of the water and crossed. She is such a little character!
Overall, we are so grateful to live next to a pool. I'm not really sure what we would have done all summer if we didn't! Can't beat something free and in walking distance. We definitely look forward to next years swimming season!

It's such a blessing when they are swimming on their own. Although, I do have to admit, I did cringe a little when you talked about Halle's bicycle kick. It's just the swim teacher in me. LOL. They are both too cute and we should get together sometime soon!

That's awesome that Brynlee can swim without floats!! Amazing. I haven't really worked much with Jonah. Because of his younger siblings we always stay in the baby pools or shallow ends. Poor deprived kid! Glad you had a fun summer =)
