I can swim!
Tobey gives thumbs-up after swimming the width of the pool
My sister got me off to a great start last summer and taught me a lot. My Papa spent a lot of time with me in the pool late last summer while we were in Florida and I started getting close. Early this summer, my Mama signed me up for some swim classes at a rec center and I started to remember what I had learned.
This summer, we joined the neighborhood pool and I’ve been practicing and trying hard to reach with my arms and kick. A weekend in Texas with my cousins was great because we spent a lot of time in their pool and at their lake house – I played a lot in the water with Jack and J.T.
Yesterday, I realized I could do it! So, I put on my goggles, took a few deep breaths and then swam the width of the pool! It was a great feeling… and tiring! Today, I did it again, and here’s a video of it. The video is a 62MB download – so I hope you have a fast internet connection that you can watch it from:

Swimming sure is a blast!
