Jersey loves going off the diving board. She was so excited that she could turn 8 for more reasons than one. She would be able to go off the 3 meter diving board. Last year I was trying to teach her an approach off the board with a dive. She got it down really good.
I thought it was time for Phoenix to try going off the diving board too. He is a good swimmer so I knew once he went off he could swim to the side without help.
On Saturday we were at the pool and when I was walking back from the bathroom with Phoenix,
I said "do want to try jumping off the diving board?" he looked at me a bit funny but really wanted too just like Jersey. To my surprise he did it!
I was at the side telling him to swim and I helped him out of the pool.
He definitely shock Grandma who didn't know what he was doing until we went back to our chairs.
He jumped a few more times and I got it on video to show Mike since he wasn't there with us.
(I wish the diving programs here were as good as the ones I worked with growing up.
Or that I could coach again.)
