Swimming Scott


So as I have blogged about before, my mom has an indoor pool. We haven't gotten to go in there for a while for no good reason at all. But Mark was gone at meetings last thursday so after I was done working with my mom at the day care I decided to take Scott for a swim. I'm starting now to teach this kid how to swim. He'll be on the swim team by the time he's 3. No pressure Scott. But he's already got an advantage over other kids with his awesome genes. We think he has my long torso and short legs and marks big feet. We're waiting to see about his arms (Mark has long monkey arms). Micheal Phelps has all these things that is said to make him have the perfect swimmer build. One other thing that Scott has is Swiss lungs. He flaots so well. I simply would hold his head up and his back and legs would stay up at the top. He even kicks a little. I would try pulling his legs down and letting them go, they would still just spring right back up. I'm so proud of him. Mark thinks we should get him into some sports that would be more interesting to watch but the way I see it every kid should know how to swim. He just will learn younger then others.
