I love summer. I grew up in San Diego, how could I not love summer? I’m not looking forward to the extreme heat and humidity of Louisiana, but I am looking forward to lots of afternoons at the pool!
Exposing my kids to water, swimming, and water safety has always been very important to me. We started my oldest in swim lessons when he was just 18 months old. So when I was contacted and asked if I’d like to be a SwimWays Swim Team I knew it was the perfect fit for our family.
Swimways, the leading manufacturer of pool toys, games, and floats for over 40 years, introduced the Swim Steps program as a way for parents to teach their children one of life’s most important skills – how to swim. Through an easy to follow, three stage program, Swim Steps products help children develop swimming skills and gain confidence in the water.
As a SwimWays Swim Steps Swim Team blogger I’ll receive SwimWays products as well as materials and guidance to help teach my boys to swim. I, in turn, will be able to share those tips and our swimming progress with you!
Right now Big Brother is on the brink of being able to swim on his own. He’s always been a little fish, and has never been afraid to be under the water. He’s (almost) a natural at swimming underwater. If we can just teach him how to come up for air we’ll be good. 🙂

And because my boys are polar opposites in almost every way, Little Brother is completely afraid of the water. Anything larger than a bathtub is suspicious to him. Thankfully, he’ll let mom and dad hold him in the water, but he’s a big boy and we won’t be able to do that for much longer without looking a little ridiculous.
Then there’s the baby. Well, if bath time is any indication (it was for my other two boys) then we’ve got another little fish on our hands. I guess we’ll see how he does pretty soon. Our community pool opens next week! Just in time for the expected 85+ degree weather!
This may be a bit shocking for those of you having cold weather, but it’s almost time to hit the pool!!! Wohoo!!!
