Teaching The Babies To Swim
My mom had this thing about teaching all teh babies born in our family to swim. It was like this. Mom believed that because we live in Florida, and we have water all over, that babies needed to learn to swim as soon as possible in case they happened to end up in over their heads in water. I used to laugh at this, but went along with it. I helped my Mom teach all three of my children, my sisters Nikki and Alexa, and all my nieces and nephews to swim. I quit laughing about it when at 4 years old, my son CJ fell in the canal in our backyard and was able to swim to the bank and to safety. I was so happy my Mom had had the foresight to teach my children to swim.
