I'm not sure what happened to me when I was growing up, but I missed out on a pretty major thing. I never learned how to swim very well! I can manage to not drown, but you would not call what I do swimming. My husband isn't the best at it either. We have a friend that joked, "What are the odds that the only two people who can't swim in Mississippi get married?".
I do want to defend myself somewhat by saying that the water really messes with my eyes! Maybe it's because I have contacts that I never take out? Ha! My daughter, Kaytlynn, isn't crazy about putting her head under the water either. We can't help it us girls have sensitive eyes now can we? :)
So now that I've shamed my husband and our family by letting out such tragic information, I wanted to tell you that my son, Keller, is going to try to learn to swim today. Our friend Josh Arrowood is going to help teach him. Josh is more of a fish than a man so I feel confident that Keller will be doing butterfly strokes by dusk.
I hope to have some pics of this when we are done (Cat image credit to www.graphicshunt.com) Stay tuned!
By the way, am I alone in this? Feel free to boost my self-esteem by letting me know that you can't swim either!
