Our mermaid

Lauren has LOVED the water since her first time in a pool at age 1.  We put her in all her swim gear and off she goes.  She loves the pool and the ocean.  She prefers to be in the ocean at high tide and loved the big waves. We started with swimmies on her arms with a front back bubble, took off the swimmies so she just had her bubble, then we started taking out some of the support form the bubble so she could build up her endurance.   She has been asking for a week or 2 to take off her last bubble because she wanted to swim underwater and dive for rings.  So we did and....she swam.   She is just 3 1/2 and we are amazed at her strength.

With the last of her bubble on.

Bubble off and officially a swimmer.
