Will they dunk their heads under water? Do they wear floaties?

Thomas is not really into the big pool. If it has steps he will stand on them, but not go past his waist. Same way at the beach. Now, the kiddie pool he has a blast in. He will NOT stick his head under. Oh and he only wears floaties in the big pool

She loves the pool, but we've only gone once so far. She will not put her head underwater though and I make her wear her floaties. She likes it so I can let go for a minute.

The twins wear wing floaties... Mianna loves to swim with her head under and Kaleigh prefers to keep her head above water.

Alyssa's never been to the swimming pool, she's not a fan of getting water in her face.

Daniel loves the pool and since it's not deep enough he does not wear floaties. He will not put his head under water, though.

love is a better word. Rylee can not get enough of swimming and water. he jumps right off the diving board at my sisters pool and swims all the way back to the shallow end. he's like a little fish!

The first couple of times we went in the water it was the lake here, so she wore a soft life vest, which was great but in the pool we tired wings and I don't think she felt secure enough and she demanded to be held.

We have a friends bday pool party coming up and I think we are going back to the vest.

She will be starting swim lessons with a friend who does it as a side a job. She HAS to be a good swimmer for me to let her near the water- because I don't swim. Too many "near drownings" as a child.

She won't go under water, and she tends to swallow water and choke- but weirdly she still likes it.

Vanessa LOVES to swim!!! She wears a floatie suit that makes her look like a body builder!










In fact this one was new as of early June and she's worn it so much it's stretched out too much, comes up too far around her neck, so we got a new one while out this afternoon! Hopefully, it'll last the rest of the summer.

Riley loves to swim! he doesn't like to dunk his head under water, but he does occasionally. He usually wears a life jacket.
