Summer at the School Pool

This year we spent every warm day at the school pool. It was a fantastic (and inexpensive) way to spend the long summer holidays. Above is Nick doing his version of a starfish. He can hold his breath for ages, so it took some convincing him that he should be floating on his back. By the end of the summer he had amazing confidence in the water, and had even started to do very basic freestyle. Both boys would love to run and jump into the deep end. We just had to keep a close eye on Nick to make sure he had his "floaties" (arm bands) on. Josh also spent most of the summer under water chasing his torpedo pool toys. The hours in the pool perfected his breaststroke and he could tread water for hours.
