My mom's been pushing the swim lessons on me since the day Chase turned 6 months. I took lessons when I was that age, most babies do. She reminds me about them on a weekly basis. I reminded her that I used TEACH lessons when I was a lifeguard and her response? "But don't you want a proffessional?" Nice- guess I was an amateur.
Friday Chase and I took our first dip in my condo's pool. Which is heated, although prolly not the best idea since he was sick. But the sun made him sneeze a ton & it got the snot out better than the sucker thingy. (Sorry for the TMI)
Anyhoo- Chase was not opposed to the swimming. He didn't cry, but he also wasn't doing laps or anything. He kept dipping his hands in the water and sucking on his fingers. He did some splashes and did not like to float on his back. We're going to work on that next week. For his first time, I will call it a success.
And yes, he was wearing a hat, long sleeved swim shirt, board shorts that look like pants on him, AND SPF 50. I prefer that he stays the palest child in the world :-)
