Pool Pics

Austin was so excited to get back to the pool, after learning he could jump off the diving board! He got up the morning, and when he got dressed he put on his swimming trunks. I told him while we were running errands he could have regular clothes on! After each errand stop, he would ask, "Is it time to go swimming yet?"

Finally, it was time!!

Mike took his waterproof camera, and got some really neat pictures.



Here he is jumping off the diving board. He did this over and over and over... Yesterday, there was quite a line that he had to wait in. Today, there were only a few others that were in line, so he was able to jump more often.

After doing this for quite some time, he told me that his arms felt wobbly. I told him that was because it uses muscles to swim, and it was making him stronger. Little did he know that something so fun could also be exercise!

  3. Yeah Austin! You are quite the brave guy. Your mom and Dad are good "encouragers" as you tried something new. I also like the pictures underwater.
