Should have named her Ariel
With the amount of time she spends in the water, perhaps Ariel would have been an appropriate name. Two weeks of camp, out of which two out of three days are at a Lake, a weekend camping at a campsite which had a pool.
What were we doing after dinner last night? Why swimming of course. And the only way I got her out was by promising to go swimming with her again this evening after dinner.
She is now a strong enough swimmer that I do not feel that I need to actually be in the pool with her every second any longer (after refilling my Xanax several times — kidding… I kidding… sort of). In some ways it is great, in that now I can stay poolside and take some snapshots, or just relax a little as she swims. Of course this is just another thing in a long list of things that I am no longer needed for, as lifeguard status is all I NEED to do. Fortunately though, she still WANTS me in there playing with her most of the time. It is good to feel wanted especially when you are no longer needed.

Looks like an Olympian to me!!
LOL yea I think Ariel would’ve been a great name for her! I know my daughter is like a fish too when it comes to water.
I’m a total fish. Do you have to drag her kicking and screaming from any body of water? When I was younger my mother would have to do that to me, and I would sit in the car (soaking wet) and cry because I wanted to go back to the water…
WHOOT on her! That’s great!
Mine is a fish too. Unfortunately we’re still at the refilling of the Xanax and sticking near her stage. Give her a few more months. Perhaps that’ll change. (Alas our local pool is only open for 8 weeks in the summer. Bleugh.)
what a cutie-pie!!!!! I think those pools are GREAT, we would have loved one like that when we were kids!
She is so cute.
I grew up with a pool and can remember being her age and wanting to never come out of the water.
