We've had a breakthrough. There was a warm, shallow pool in Hawaii that all the kids loved and were brave enough to practice swimming without floaties. The result: REAL SWIMMING!!! Since this video, Robbie has blossomed even more--braving into deeper waters and trying different strokes (much less spastic--more relaxed, slow movements). It is so fun to watch (and a comfort, too). Next summer maybe we'll try for real swimming lessons, but for now, I am perfectly content with my little fish.
Ty is my fearless child in so many ways. He "wims" in the big pool now with just floaties and just loves it. Still, my comfort zone is the foot and a half pool, but still.
