Little fish

Austin has always LOVED the water. In fact, he's always been borderline "scary" with how fearless he is. It's a good and bad thing. Fortunately, I've been teaching him swim lessons for the past 2 yrs and he's getting pretty darn good AND pool safe. He can jump in and swim to the side, dive for rings at the bottom, swim big arms (freestyle/crawl), float on his front and back by himself, and just recently, side breathing with big arms. The kid is catching on and I think we might have a future competitive swimmer here. No surprise here, it runs in our family genes (my DAD, that is). When I get around to it, I'll videotape him swimming. Probably at the end of the summer when he can really do the whole freestyle-breathing thing well. My goal for him is to get him to swim an entire length by himself. By the looks of it now, he'll easily get there.
