Julia has been working hard all summer to learn how to swim. First, she conquered jumping in the pool, next we discovered the swim float ring and she swam all around using that, and then today she swam by herself for the first time!! She has had the kicking and arm strokes down for most of the summer but whenever she tried to do it on her own she immediately sank. The trick we found (thanks to Grandma Laurie!) was getting her to swim with her face in the water. As soon as we told her to do that she put her head down and paddled away!
Julia the Fish!
