Little Fish: Last Swim Class of the Summer



I was fortunate enough to use my lunch break last Tuesday to drive to Emler Swimming Academy for Human Children (or whatever it's called) and join you and your Mom for your last swim class.



Of course, I was wearing a button-down and khakis, so I couldn't join you in the pool. I wish I was wearing a swim suit though, it was hot in there and the water looked so refreshing...except for the abundance of children who probably peed in their swim diapers.



But, pee wasn't the most exciting thing in the water. You were! Of course I've seen what you can do in our inflatable pool and in Gulf and in friends' pools over the summer, but I've never witnessed the barage of swimmin' challnges and learning they throw at you (or throw you in to) in a swim class.



You were great! Obstacles that used to bother you and make you cry only made you happy! A child screaming bloody murder didn't make you lose your swimming cool at all. You went down the slide (with glee) and did humpty dumpty (with slight resistance) and held your breath for 8 seconds (a class record!!!).



You still did not seem to like floating on your back. In fact, you hated it. I did not take video of that.



But, all in all, swim class was a success, and a fun experience for you and your Mommy. I'm so glad I got to be a tiny part of it and be the creepy guy in khakis and a button-down filming a swimming pool full of children with his phone!
