With this hot summer, we have been going to the pool pretty regularly. Mac has always enjoyed the pool, but with no formal swimming lessons, he’s pretty cautious and hesitant to go under or get too splashed in the face. He would watch his cousins swim underwater and long to swim with them. So this week, he decided that he was going to do it. He started with dunking his head and eventually learned to hold his breath and swim underwater. He still hasn’t had formal training on how to actually swim (read: move) in the water, so he usually just splashes around and stays in one place, BUT his head is submerged! A huge improvement for him! I was so proud and excited to see him jumping in and going underwater and all in three days! So without further ado, here is his video!
