She was swimming on her own last summer, but looked more like a &#8220;drowing drunk&#8221; (as Mel would say) with flailing arms and legs. More like power dog paddling, I guess. This year, her strokes seem more defined, and almost on purpose! She is doing so well and announced on Monday that she, &#8220;sunk under deep in the deep water.&#8221; I&#8217;m guessing she held her breath and went under water in the deep end. She loves her class and looks forward to it twice a week.<br \/>\nI can&#8217;t wait to begin to taking her to Prestwood Pool so she can show off her new swimming skills! I&#8217;m so proud of her!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.babypennington.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/05\/100_3303.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-9242\" src=\"https:\/\/www.babypennington.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/05\/100_3303-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.babypennington.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/05\/100_3303-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.babypennington.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/05\/100_3303-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.babypennington.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/05\/100_3303-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.babypennington.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/05\/100_3303-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.babypennington.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/05\/100_3303.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.babypennington.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/05\/100_3310.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-9244\" src=\"https:\/\/www.babypennington.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/05\/100_3310-225x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.babypennington.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/05\/100_3310-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/www.babypennington.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/05\/100_3310-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.babypennington.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/05\/100_3310-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/www.babypennington.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/05\/100_3310.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.babypennington.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/05\/100_3311.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-9245\" src=\"https:\/\/www.babypennington.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/05\/100_3311-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.babypennington.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/05\/100_3311-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.babypennington.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/05\/100_3311-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.babypennington.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/05\/100_3311-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.babypennington.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/05\/100_3311-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.babypennington.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/05\/100_3311.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>This is Jacob, one of her instructors and a great swimmer!<br \/>\nMommy taught Jacob in 6th, 7th and 8th grade.
