As usual, we're spending a lot of time in my parent's pool this summer and as a result, Eddie has stopped swimming with a bubble and is rocking it completely on his own! It sounds mean, and it may result in some therapy later, but I kind of forced it :) When he had his bubble on, he completely relied on it, he wouldn't even kick his feet, he just kind of floated. So, to get his butt moving I took it off in order to force him to actually swim. Yes, I know this is harsh, but after a billion years of teaching swim lessons, I like to pretend I know what I'm doing when it comes to kids and pools and let's face it, I know my kid and know what will work for him.
(disclaimer: don't try this at home, I am a trained professional!)
The problem we're running into now is that he gets tired but still wants to swim...let's just say he gets a little sink-y. And that, my friends, is why you always have adult supervision when kids and pools are involved.
