Well, we started Cole in swim lessons the month he turned 2! We have a pool, my parents have a pool, JD's mom lives on the river and at the time we had a boat. Cole was surrounded by water and I wanted him to know how to swim (or at least float) to put my mind at ease a bit. He went 2 days a week for about a year and a half and he took to swimming like a fish. He loved to be under water and his swim coach always commented on him having a Iron Lung! I never thought we would go the swim team route until our good friends saw Cole swimming and urged us to have him try out. We figured he would try out and make the Jr. Dolphins, which is kind of like lessons to get the kids ready for swim team. Well, Cole did so good at try outs, that he is officially a member of the swim team in the 6 and under group. He is the youngest kiddo on the team and will compete in races come June. It is a very busy schedule with swimming pretty much everyday and I am a bit nervous that my 4 year old (just turned) will get burned out but he is so excited and we will take it one practice at a time. I must say the swim shorts they wear are too cute and of course, Cole got two pairs of goggles to match! This kid is such a athlete it blows my mind. Now, I just have Charly to worry about. Swim lessons begin for her in the fall. Good Luck Cole!
