A swimming day

Today Nick swam. He took swimming lessons last year, and didn't really get very far. This summer he started out nervous and whiny--he especially hated to get water on his face, which really slows you down as far as swimming goes. But the last couple of days it's been really hot, and he's been a lot less nervous. Yesterday he jumped in (yes, getting water all over his face) and today he swam about six feet before he put a foot down.

This is progress.
