Jumping, swimming, sinking

May 18th, 2008 by

Jul, Nicholas, Sumo, and I did some swimming this weekend with Margret and Reese. Niko seems to have the jumping into the pool part down, and he can surface after his first plunge, but after that he sinks like a rock. So basically so far I’ve taught him how to kill himself, but not swim. Good progress.

You might want to put on sunglasses for this video, my bald spot can throw off quite the glare.

    Thank you Scott, I knew you would pull through and feel guilty enough to post this for me last night! Niko’s swimming and jumping is really unbelievable but I particularly like hearing his greetings to you when he surfaces “oh, hello”!

    That is so cute. Reece and I are going to try to sign up for mommy & me swim lessons this summer. (Apparently I have to queue up at 4am and stay there for 6 hours.) It will be worth it to see him jump in like that! Did you teach him yourself, or get guidance or instruction?

    (Or maybe teaching comes naturally given your swim expertise.)

    That’s quite the frog kick he has going.
