Renée has been getting braver and braver in the water. She has been jumping in and loves to swim around the pool wearing her life jacket. Today we went to the pool together after dinner. We took off Renée’s life jacket to start teaching her how to swim and she could swim. It really was amazing to see her progress just this evening. She started by mostly using her legs to swim straight up. Then she started using her arms and swimming horizontally in the water. Gavin also taught himself to swim. I am thinking that it is our Speedo life jacket and a lot of exposure to the water that has turned my children into fish. It has been nice not to have to pay for swimming lessons.
Carter is enjoying the pool more. He now has the balance to float in the water with water wings. He loves it when Sam and I throw him back and forth.
This is what Gavin calls the airplane dive. Doesn’t that look fun!
The first video is of Renée swimming and the second is of me throwing Carter in the water. You can also see Renée swimming in Carter’s video.

I love the videos, she really is doing fantastic. Who would have thought the speedo life jacket could produce such great results.
