Future Michael Phelps?



Ok, that might be an exaggeration, but I taught swimming for 10 years, and I've got to admit, for only 3 years old, Austin is a pretty dang good swimmer! Of course, he has always loved the water, sometimes a little too much. Last summer he didn't really know his limits, he would just jump in and think he could swim and keep up with the big kids. This summer, however, he's a little better at that, but he still shows no fear when it comes to swimming. His favorite thing to do is jump in and swim to us, esp off the diving board. And he gets so excited each time, it's hilarious! He could do this non-stop for hours. And we swim at least 3 times/week, so we practice "big arms", swimming and diving for rings, jumping in and swimming to the side by himself. Hopefully Carson will follow in his footsteps? He seems to like the water too. It must be my family genes (thanks to my Dad)???!!!
