Even in the shallow water he throws himself until he's under. Over and over and over again. I guess I should be grateful that he's not scared, but geez!<BR/><BR/>My 6 year old daughter is just now getting comfortable too, like yours. And she learned to ride her bike. I'm liking this phase.Lahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12780058272081102135noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25542320.post-1151615252923842272006-06-29T16:07:00.000-05:002006-06-29T16:07:00.000-05:00I hear swimming is a great exercise.

My hip/thigh abductors were screaming at me from not being used to kick and swim.<BR/><BR/>It sounds like you're easing into it. Best thing to do. Go slow.

She's now in her 20's with 4 kids and she's been emailing me, asking when I'm coming to teach HER kids how to swim. :) I must've done an okay job.Sideonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00563675498159890372noreply@blogger.com
