The swimming has officially commenced! Though our neighborhood pool is not open yet, we have been swimming twice this weeekend. Once at my brother-in-law's house and today at one of John's friend's house. Lots of fun! These children of mine are born swimmers (OK, really the credit goes to John). They just have that 'gene' for not being afraid of the water and just wanting to JUMP in. Even Luke, he was hopping in before he was one year old. Now that he is 2 1/2, he is fearless! He doesn't mind drinking half the pool water, as long as he gets to jump off the diving board again. Cooper is to the point of not needing any assistance. He can tool around and get where he wants to go; it may be slow, but he'll get there. I think Natalie could swim really good if she wanted to, but she prefers to let everyone catch her, hold her and help her to the side. 
All 3 kiddos are starting swim lessons tomorrow, for a 2 week session to learn some new skills to practice all summer. Let's hope the swim instructors are ready for them!
