Just keep swimming

Link loves the water! He splashes through bath time giggling with delight. So when our friend Karen and her son Sanjay signed up for afterwork swim lessons we knew we had to join.





Well, Mom signed up. And Dad refused to go because it sounded scary. So Mom and Link go after work on Mondays and Wednesdays while Dad makes dinner.



Due to popular demand for pictures, Dad had to come to class this week. He did great!

First he did some kicking

Followed by a failed back float

Leading up to the big dunk! Yes, instructor submerges the baby on purpose.

We can't wait until Link can go down the slide. The instructor claims you have to be 4 feet tall, but we're determined to get Link down it sooner. 

Back float, not sure how Ben is supposed to teach it when he can't backfloat himself! 

Getting to swim class directly from work is a bit of a struggle. On Wednesdays I pack my workout clothes for before work,  pumping for lunch, and swim gear. It's a lot to fit in everyday. I not always at my best, here's an inside out speedo.

The only animals I'll ever love - towel animal heads. How cute is my little elephant?!
