Annika learning to swim



We snuck into Palm Meadows again so the kids could swim in PM's assortment of amazing swimming pools. On this day, we arrived about noon. By 5:30pm Annika was "swimming." She could put her whole body under water and move about two feet. Before that day she would hardly put her face in the water. It helped that she met a little friend Olivia and Olivia was swimming like crazy so Annika picked it up from her.





August is very comfortable in the water too. They hung out in a pool that was as deep as August's chin. He lost his footing 3 or 4 times during the course of the day, which made is head go totally under water, but he held his breath, caught himself, came up to the surface, and would exclaim "That was cool!" And it didn't freak him out because he would choose to stay in the pool and continue playing.
