Jacqueline says
LET’S GO SWIMMING!
Growing up in a small town on the prairies, I was never able to take swimming lessons or even get comfortable in more than 3 feet of water. When I had kids, having them love the water and know how to swim was a priority. They’ve been loving swimming since they were both 6 months old, and after years of swimming lessons, could easily save their dear mom from drowning! Um, I hope…
Jane says
LET’S GO SWIMMING! Yes I love swimming. Ironically I have just returned from the pool where I went to swim laps (got up at 6AM!) and had to return home cos I forgot my towel! Embarrassingly I asked for a refund. The pool guy says it happens quite a lot, some people even forget their bathers!
Kacey says
LET’S GO SWIMMING!
