Have I mentioned that my little family is challenged in the swimming department?Well, my kiddos have always trailed a little behind the swimming curve.
Did you know that you can freestyle swim in place?
Oh, you can.
I painfully watched Max do it every morning during swim team practice last summer.
Cal, staying true to his no-care attitude, has spent the majority of his nearly six years completely uninterested in learning to swim. Lessons since 6 months old and NOTHIN'!
Why? Well, mystery solved.
On Friday, I decided to test my own abilities in the water. (I'm considering training for a triathlon and unfortunately, swimming is sort of a requirement.)
One lap and I was gasping for air and choking on water. How could this be? I just ran a marathon and I can't swim one lap!
Guess the apples just don't fall far from the tree.
And...
I have come to conclude...
these apples should probably hang up the goggles and Speedos and comfortably stay put on land.
(*Just after posting this, Cal started swimming on his own this morning! Guess we're not ready to throw in the towel just yet.)

Kendal was the exact same way as Cal. Last summer she finally started swimming confidently!
Good luck with the triathlon training!
