The Swimmers...

It was around the first of June, about 6 weeks ago, that the kids went swimming in Frank's pool the first time this season.  I was wanting George to teach them to swim this summer, but we found that Robert could already swim like a fish.  Hannah was afraid of the water at first, but has been gaining confidence with each trip to the pool.  George takes them almost every day during the week for an hour or two when it is just him and the kids.  Today when I got home Hannah said, 'Grandma, I can swim.  I taught myself."  We went back for about an hour this afternoon with the camera.  Sure enough, she has taught herself to swim.  She was really excited about the accomplishment.  It is amazing to go from being scared to turn loose of the ladder to swimming underwater in only 6 weeks.  We are really proud of her.
