Just Keep Swimming

After several frustrating summers of trying to get Braden over the fear of water, he is finally swimming!

I was going to put him in lessons this summer because we are going to Schilitterbahn and I wanted him to be swimming before then, but Braden kept telling me he knew how and wanted to just do it.  A few weeks into summer and I guess he was right.  He's jumping off the side into water over his head, going down the slides, and today he swam the length of the pool without stopping! 

Seth has been the epitome of a good big brother in the pool this summer. He was right there encouraging Braden, helping him when he got a little scared, and cheering him on.  I am so thankful to Seth for helping Braden conquer his fears and be able to really enjoy the pool. Seth has even talked him into jumping off the diving board tomorrow!
