After a bit of a slow start to the summer, we have finally made it to the pool! This year we decided to try WaterWorks in West Windsor, and wow is it great. There are actually 4 pools, one lap pool we'll probably never see up close, a pool for the water slide we are not tall enough for yet, a huge baby pool with sprinklers and seals that are fountains, and a huge walk in pool where Ally can touch bottom in most places.
I was a little disappointed that all of her swimming lessons didn't come back to her. She really can't tread water and doesn't seem to like to do strokes with her arms. What she does like to do is put her face in the water and swim until she runs out of breath. Her friend Mac was able to swim out to the big mushroom fountain with no problem, so she was determined to do it. We talked about getting a good push off the wall, and taking a breath and then swimming some more, and she did it! I was so proud of her, and she was proud too- she stood up under the fountain to give me a double thumbs up. Then she did it about 5 more times! The pool is great, but being able to go to the pool with great friends is even better!
