My newest fish

Having taught swimming lessons for years (literally),
there is something MAGICAL about that moment when it all clicks for a kid.
Spencer CLICKED this week.
He just got it.
He has been in lessons for a while,
but with his ear issues, I haven't really pushed it with him.
I figured, he would be a late bloomer for me with swimming.
He defied the odds.
This week, he announced that he could now swim.
I didn't really think much of it,
UNTIL I watched him.
He really is swimming.
He is awesome!
I am so proud!


He can do the front crawl...

He jumps in with no fear and goes straight to the bottom on purpose.

He does flips underwater, and dives to the bottom for rings.


He can touch the bottom

He can even do dolphin kick.

I might just have me a 5 year old swim teamer next year.
Way to go SPENCE!
