My mother is an avid swimmer, she is one of the best swimmers I know. Even before Daniel was born she talked about the importance of swimming for babies. She emailed me a bunch of articles advocating early introduction of babies to water. So I thought it was only fair to let her take Daniel swimming. Our swimming pool has a "one child - one parent only in the water" policy, so I stayed on the edge of the pool and took about a hundred pictures. I am going to have to restrain myself from posting too many :)
Our little boy is just like his mommy - loves the water:
"I want to jump in again, but first I need to get out":
"Here I go":
"I can swim AND check all the girls out":
Another attempt at getting out of the pool:
My mum grabbed a noodle from the side of the pool and Daniel would swim around without being supported, it just might be that we have a Michael Phelps in the making :) (I wish!)

Way to Go Daniel! My in-laws have a pool, so swimming is a big part of our lives, too. Paul David was a FISH last summer, so I'm getting anxious to see how he does this year! Looks like Daniel's off to a great start as well!
Wow! I am so impressed! That last picture he is so serious! I just can't believe well he does in the water!
I love the last photo of Daniel the best! He is really into swimming. He is a sweetheart!!
How wonderful it is that you found a place to take swim lessons that you enjoy and that your son is so comfortable in the water! How old was Daniel in these pictures? Isn't it great how babies are born with a natural affinity for the water? The sooner parents start infants in swim lessons, the faster they learn and the less likely it is that they will grow afraid of it. Good job for getting Daniel into swim lessons early! Thanks for sharing this story.
