October’s cannon ball.

Scarlett jumping in the pool

The last of summer for us was awhile ago but I’m just getting around to posting a few pictures of the girls swimming in the pool right before it closed for the season.  They really both got much better over the course of the summer and with their swim lessons.  October kept pushing the limits I set at the pool of only going as far as the 5 foot line marker and Scarlett was getting quite daring.  Every visit to the pool, at least once I would fish her out.  She really is a little too fearless.  Now she can swim a good 3-4 feet but she doesn’t take a breathe that entire time so if she’s not in reach of a side or can touch then she goes back under.  She coughs and spits pool water through her nose nearly every time she jumps in and rarely wears goggles.  I am trying to get her to roll over and float on her back when she gets tired or needs a breathe (this is what they teach in swimming lessons). There is no lounging or book reading for me when I take the kids to the pool.  Lavender wears a new life vest and usually she chooses to use the swim ring as well even though she can float and manuever just fine with only the life vest on.  They have a ton of fun at the pool though!
