Last summer was Ian's real "break through" with swimming, but he has done great so far this summer. He really enjoys being in the water. I feel like now we need to get onto a swim team so they can teach him technique. But all in all the kids have been having lots of fun in the water!!
This is Hannah swimming before goggles...Our apartment has a pretty large pool and so we've been spending at least an hour most every day there. Ian first got some goggles and showed Hannah and Rowan how he could swim under water and see too! It was all very exciting. This encouraged Hannah and Rowan to start swimming under water. Hannah was able to get a few strokes in before she had to come up for air and Rowan, well he just started throwing himself in the water and off he'd go. Here is on of Rowan's first attempts at swimming under water. We had to go get Rowan and Hannah their own goggles and with them they are able to stay underwater for a surprising amount of time. Guess being able to see what's under there makes it way more interesting. Now we can't go to the pool without their goggles! If you know Hannah, swimming without a floaty is a HUGE accomplishment! Sorry about the lines through the clip, it's the sun's reflection off the water. I'll get Hannah and Ian's clip on here as soon as I can.
