Saturday July 03, 2004 Pool time
|
We spent the afternoon by the pool. As I mentioned in a previous blog entry, our son Duncan has taught himself how to swim. Today he was refining his diving in technique. I don't have any photos of todays activities but try to picture this. The image to the left is a link to a photo we took when we moved into our new house about a year ago and shows our pool and spa. |
Duncan confined his activities to the spa. Even though it was a fairly warm day today (if I was still living in England, the papers would have called it hot), the spa was on and set to 95 degrees. Duncan put on his googles, and was jumping into the water in the same posture as a sky diver would use to exit the airplane. He'd stay under for about 10-15 seconds (anxious moments from his parents when he first started doing this) and then he'd come up to the surface spluttering, take off his mask, then bury his face in a towel to dry it. Then he'd repeat it. Again and again. For about two hours. He had a great time.
