This is Nathan's second year on swim team. He is already becoming a better swimmer and really enjoying getting in the water and racing.
This is Nathan at the ready bench chatting with friends.
The swimmers before Nathan were taking a little linger, and Nathan is a busy, curious boy, checking out the dive board.
Nathan all ready for the dive into the water.
And he takes off! Wait? Where did that good dive form go?
I love, love, love to watch my little kids dive. They really, honestly think they are diving into the water. They are so convinced that their hands and then head touch the water first. It takes them until they are about 8 to be able to dive (at least in the case of my children) hands and head first. But I love watching them "dive" and being so proud that they dove.
It always funny to show them the pictures of their dive and them going "O".
When Nathan gets tired or needs a good breath, he rolls to his back. This is the safest thing to do and I am so glad that his coaches taught him this technique. It will help keep him safe if he ever gets into a bad situation in water.
