I Can Float!!




Trip finished his swim/float lessons early being the overachiever that he is. :) He hated every minute of it and wasn't afraid to let us all know about it. It was amazing watching him progress and then finally understanding how to float. We will be forever grateful to Mrs. Sheri for teaching Trip a skill that could potentially save his life.

That being said... he has some good days and bad days when we practice at home. Mrs. Sheri warned us that as his parents he will look to us to save him instead of making him float. The first time we tried at home, Trip ripped off my bathing suit top trying to get out of the float position! We are going back to Mrs. Sheri this month for a refresher lesson. She said this happens often and one lesson will get him back on track.

He's certainly a water rat and having a blast in the pool this summer!
