I am lucky that both of my girls took to the water very early on. We had them in the pool as soon as we could.
*Believe it or not they were 2 months old here. SO tiny!
Because they are almost always at the pool or beach in the warmer months it was so important to me that they know hot to swim. By the time Grace was four she could swim and Abby was self sufficient at five.
The big deal is when they can finally take there diving tests at our neighborhood pool. In order to go off the diving board you must be able to pass a test. You have to swim the length of the pool, tread water for 30 seconds and swim back. In all honesty I thought neither of them was anywhere near ready. Meanwhile the boys have been "training the girls". Last night they declared that Grace was ready.
I was a little apprehensive since I didn't think she was ready but... I was wrong. Sister crushed it!
Poor Abs was a great cheerleader until a few minutes later when it dawned on her that she is still a while off of passing her test. (Read more about that here)
