Swam 2000m. Took Bubbles for her "Mommy" swim lesson. She is learning to float on her back, blow bubbles (shouldn't be a problem given her history), and put her face under water. We practiced kicking and introduced her to paddling. She did well. My plan is to teach her to swim under water and come up for air by flipping onto her back. I have no idea how to teach a child to swim. Heck, I just learned a couple years ago. Honey came to get her, then I swam.

500 warm up with drills. 3X300 with 45 sec rest. These were tough. I don't have a lot of stamina in the pool right now. 100 kicking on back. 3X100 sprints at 1:30 with 30 sec rest. I do love being the fastest one in the pool. I am not very fast right now so that tells you about all the other people in the pool. 200 cool down.

I'm planning on teaching my children how to swim this summer with "mommy" swim lessons too. I took them to swim lessons a couple of years ago and they came out scared of the water (when before they weren't) and didn't learn much of anything because of the newly acquired fear. I guess my goal is to unteach the fear and we'll go from there onto technique.
