Swim Team here we come!

Parker working on his float

Davis swimming backstroke
Working on some freestyle - those arms were harder for him!

Well, not really swim team, but I do think Davis did well enough in the water that he could totally do a swim team next summer.  Davis LOVES to swim and with the help of Mrs. Janice, he became quite the swimmer this summer.  This was the first summer that he was introduced to actual swim strokes.  I think his strongest stroke this summer was the backstroke.  He can do it all the way across her pool - no problem.  Parker took lessons this year too for the first time.  He is definitely not "swimming" but he has gotten much more comfortable in the water and hopefully we will have more opportunities to work on it this summer and get him floating.  He is much more hesitant about just being in the pool so I was glad he became more comfortable to even play in the water.
