We had a great weekend around here. The sun was shining and it wasn’t nearly as hot as it has been. So nice! Well, until 4:00 on Sunday when a thunderstorm popped up and it hailed more than I’ve ever seen. By the time it was over 15 minutes later, our yard looked like it was covered in snow and my car was covered in dents. Joy.
Enough of that, on to more fun things! On Saturday morning, Maxwell and I went for his first swim lesson at the Y. The point of the classes is really just to get him used to being in the water and maybe teach us both a few safety lessons!
Here we are…all ready to go!
During the 30 minute class we practiced blowing bubbles (Maxwell wasn’t so good at that yet)…
Kicking (he was a master at that!)
and putting his head under water (he surprisingly didn’t mind that at all!).
Overall I think we both had fun! One interesting thing to note – the pool is saline, not just chlorine. I confused this and thought it meant the pool was going to be salt water like the ocean. While you can taste a little salt, it’s very diluted and actually nice. They say it’s better for the skin too! I’ll take that!
Here’s to a summer of fun in the pool!
Splish – splash – Maxwell is a little fish! Looked like fun and refreshing!
Oh yay! So glad he had fun! Go Maxwell! Our pool in Tampa had saline. It made our skin so soft and it never hurt your eyes under water. I do miss that.
I love to see the blog in the mornings. I am not always near a good keyboard, but I certainly think about y’all.
Maxwell will love the water as the summer goes on and he will swim like a fish.
