Passing the Test

All of my children are excellent swimmers. When you lived in 105 degree weather for six years this is bound to happen. I was still amazed by Collin's swimming skills this Sunday though. During half time for the SuperBowl our church had a open swim for the kids at the YMCA. There was a lifeguard on duty and if you wanted to go down the slide in the deep in of the pool you had to pass a swim test for her. The kids had to swim from one side of the pool to the other without resting. Parker did it with no challenge. So of course Collin decided he wanted to do it. At 4yrs old my son went from one side of the pool to the other. He only made me worry at the very end. The lifeguard gave him the thumbs up :) After Lilah saw Collin pass she decided she could give it a try. She also made it. They both were very proud of themselves and loved getting to hang out with the older kids.
