You may or may not remember this, but last year Tate was not a fan of swimming (click here if you need a reminder.) In fact, a trip to the pool was not an enjoyable experience. We spent most of the time coaxing Tate into the pool, and the rest of the time trying to get him to let his guard down and have fun. And never would he have done this. . .
It all changed after one, I repeat ONE, swimming lesson where we discovered that the biggest impediment to his swimming was the fact that he didn't like to get water in his eyes. A simple introduction to goggles and we can't get this kid out of the pool or off the diving board. In fact, the only coaxing that happens now is maybe "Hey Tate, why don't you take a break from jumping off the diving board and swim in the kiddie pool so dad can take a break."
