breaking the winter blahs ups














The last few weekends we have been breaking the winter blahblahs but getting some "sun" inside at the pool. We been hitting the indoor pool at the workout facility we attend which is very nice and usually not too crowded on the days we go, which works well for us. It has a pretty good setup as they have a zero-depth zone that nicely transitions to an area where it is about 4 ft deep. It has some fun cool bubbly things, some other waterfalls, rain shower areas, which Alicia actually stays completely away from as she's kinda like mommy and doesn't really care to get dumped on by the water.

Check out our little froggie swimming in the video! She does amazingly well with the life vest jacket on in the deeper end. She can stay afloat and tread water for a decent time before she starts to freak out. Alicia's favorite thing is to "paddle paddle swim swim" which is what we are trying to teach her to do with treading water. She is kinda doing the doggie paddle swim when she wears her vest, as she is able to move around in the water for pretty good distances too while doing her "paddle paddle swim swim" - I'm just really happy with how well she is doing and adjusting to the water, next up is us trying to get her to float on her back or to try and use her arms/legs more together.
